Version 1.0.0 works, and version 1.1.0 works. Version 1.1.5 is broken as 
well as 1.2.0. I'll have to think of some place to go and see if the 
tracking in 1.1.0 works better than 1.0.0.

None of the working builds for HSP have that menu, and I'm not sure you 
understand what I mean. Xastir is toggeling DTR back and forth at a 
fixed time interval. What it should do is when it wants to listen to the 
GPS (at whatever interval) it should toggle DTR, and as soon as it gets 
a fix from the GPS, it should toggle DTR again, to go back to listening 
for stations. What it is doing, is waiting until the time interval is up 
again.
