I'm running xastir 1.2.1 via AGWPE on a remote PC (actually located at 
aprs.kd4rdb.com:8000 ) as kd4rdb-3.  this station is network ONLY.  No tnc 
is directly hooked to this station.  It also has a 2nd port hooked to 
aprs.kd4rdb.com:23 for a filtered aprs feed (700km raduis on 
second.aprs.net).  This PC is in my computer room... no radios there.

The AGWPE host station is kd4rdb-2.  At this site, I have a PC running 
UI-View (so it is a widen-n digipeater via agwpe) and AGWPE.  This is the 
one which is aprs.kd4rdb.com:8000 .  a tnc in kiss mode is connected 
serially to AGWPE at this site.  UI-View is hosting port 23, the filtered 
aprs-is feed.  I know this is a very complex setup... the essence of it is 
that I'm trying to provide a TNC which people can tunnel into 
(aprs.kd4rdb.com:8000) and use as if it was their own... ie people just 
starting aprs who may not own a tnc or a PSK31 interface.  I also want to 
provide a filtered feed for those same people as well as be an igate.

My home digipeater is kd4rdb-0 and is only on RF in the vicinity.  It is 
publishing some objects such as a local mic-e repeater.  It's objects are 
positioned a few miles north east of our town and it's beaconed location is 
actually in my yard which happens to be the same location as kd4rdb-3 (it's 
in my garage)


Here's the problem....

kd4rdb-3 is jumping around on other's maps... between my house in the 
downtown area of sumter, and the lcoation of kd4rdb-2 14 miles north of my 
qth.  My local copy of xastir (kd4rdb-3) running here at home never shows 
me moving.  It does however, show my icon changing to a mic-e repeater... 
and the only station near here TX'ing mic-e icon is kd4rdb-0 which is only 
on RF.  Findu even shows it in the wrong location.... check 
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/breadcrumb.cgi?call=kd4rdb-3&geo=http://www.imscorporation.com/kd4rdb/sumter1.geo&start=1000 
and see that it's last packet was Raw packet: 
KD4RDB-3>BEACON,W4APE-9*,WIDE,qAS,WA4SAS:=3408.43N/08021.55WmPHG8580/Sumter 
147.015 mic-e / WIDE node. wes at johnston.net

I can view the station config in xastir and it's location is 33 56.099 x 80 
24.011 and the icon is /- (house)... nothing at all like what findu shows.

It seems there is something wrong with xastir picking up the positions and 
features of other stations .... like it doesn't differentiate between 
ssid's on the same callsigns.... dunno... thoughts?
