[Xastir] Xastir 1.9.9 help

[Michael Lewis]

  hmm I'm in the same boat as you John.. I checked to see which port was 
given to my Serial-to-USB by typing in "demsg" and it's on /dev/ttyUSB0 
Ok so with that said I go in xastir and enter in that info and so on and 
click on start and it "connects" or so.. However after getting my GPS 
lock and all and pressing transmit now nothing never happens. Incoming 
packets cause the Carrier Detect light to blink rapidly. I looked  at 
the PK commands in the config to see what my own packets looks like and 
it never showed anything unless I did something wrong.

Also a think about linux is for things to work upper and lower case 
really does have a effect... I learned that out when first starting with 
linux.
