There's been no significant modifications to the spec in about as long
as I can recall. I think Curt has beaten some changes in that Bob B has
accepted but nothing substantive.

Gerry,
I THINK Steve captures the EMERGENCY beacons based on the MIC-E format
that is used on the D7/D700 radios (modified MIC-E?). I haven't been
subscribed to any APRS SIG lists in quite a while so this is an
observation from a few years ago... from memory. Has the APRS Spec
been modified to include an additional means for transmitting an
EMERGENCY packet?

In a week or so, when he's back, I'll ask Steve Dimse about how he
captures EMERGENCY on findu unless I can divine it otherwise first.
That'd be the definitive case. Comparing Xastir to a piece of
software that isn't under maintenance and never will be (UI-view)
isn't too good an idea in my view. He sounds like someone who got
caught with his hand in the cookie jar and doesn't want to admit it.

I've been having a conversation with KC5FM-9, and not sure
what to think here.
Thursday, when I was home, I was using Xastir with the
internet feed, and KC5FM-9 had the word "EMERGENCY" in his position
comment field -- I think it originally said "EMERGENCY MANAGER" or
something similar.
Every time I'd receive his position, Xastir would pop up a
window asking if I wanted to find that station. I finally asked a
friend of mine, who lives close to him, to ask him to change the
beacon. I get the impression that I offended him, and the last
thing I got from him was:
The Status text has been changed.
The more I think of this, the more I am convinced that your choice of
software is the culprit. I don't show up in the emergency beacons at
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/emergency.cgi
as well as UI-View over the internet and the Kenwood radio in the EOC.
I am interested (and will check soon) what effect the emergency beacon
that triggers the Findu output has on the software and radios. I am
told that the Kenwood locks up until the operator attends to the
alarm. I am also told other software reacts differently, from Bells
and Whistles to nothing at all.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

So, MY question -- is Xastir perhaps "too sensitive" to the
word "EMERGENCY"? Is this something that needs to be looked into?
I'm currently running version 1.9.1 under VMWare.
