> Ideas? It means you are receiving packets that look like NWS alerts, but haven't got as many fields as are expected. The alert.c code that generates this message is testing that a particular parsing of the data returned at least 3 fields. sscanf is supposed to return the number of fields it successfully processed, which in your example is only 1, where we're expecting at least 3. Check the man page for sscanf on your system --- does it say that the return value is the number of input items assigned? > sscanf parsed 1 values in alert.c (3-7 ok) YB8ZD->NWS_APRS: logsheet APRS > Net diposting pd milis [EMAIL PROTECTED] > sscanf parsed 1/3 values in alert.c It looks like the function "alert_build_list" is getting tripped up by the fact that this YB8 station is sending a non-alert packet to NWS_APRS. I see that several YB and YC stations are sending messages to NWS_APRS that aren't alerts over the last few weeks. Don't know why you should be getting hundreds of them, though. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "It's so simple to be wise: just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it." --- Sam Levinson _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
