[Xastir] SmartBeacon setup/use

[KA7O]

Greetings,

My mobile setup is a GPS receiver, KPC3+ and Xastir running on a Fedora 
laptop. GPSD handles the GPS info to Xastir and Xastir talks to the TNC 
via serial. Nope, not KISS. GPS is putting out GMC and other strings 
strings once a second.

Watching the data from GPSD uxing xgps, I can see good data pouring out 
at the expected 1 per second rate. Usig TangoGPS, I get EXCELLENT and 
accurate tracks.

SmartBeacon is enabled and default settings kept. However, I'm only 
getting posit updates about once every 10 minutes or so. Not what I'm 
used to seeing with SmartBeacon.

Where should I be looking to get relevant, SmartBeacon controlled posits 
going out?

Thanks!
