*) Make sure that SmartBeaconing is OFF

*) "File->Configure->Timing" set it to 60 minutes.

*) Exit Xastir, which writes the settings to disk, or you can
    "File->Configure->Save Config Now!"

*) Start up Xastir.

Let us know if it works properly for you, else we'll have to look
into the code to figure out why.

The timings may have already set for the next transmit at the point
you changed it to 60 minutes, so it broadcast again 30 minutes after
the previous one.  The next transmit may have been 60 mins out.

You might have to stop/restart Xastir to get it to use the new
setting in that particular case.  In the above instructions I just
had you restart anyway as that's the most sure.
