[Xastir] Help: Coordinates format

[Ian A Bultitude]

Hello All,

I am attempting to set my AX25 beacon so that it is in the correct format for Xastir and other such APRS systems.

1/	What format is the Lon/Lat in? ddmm.ss ie degrees minutes seconds or is it all decimal?
2/	Why the extra 0 in the Lat?
3/	How using the AX25 beacon command can I invoke the WIDE option so that it will digi via the next system in line?

The digi side is working just great from the Xastir program but I need to get it working on my BBS (FBB) and NODE. Then I can set it
up for systems that do not run the Xastir or other APRS programs.

Thanks
