[Xastir] Position transmit timing

[Brett Friermood]

How are you verifying the 30 minute transmit interval? If it is being
observed on RF, does this match what is shown as being sent by Xastir? I
don't have access to Xastir at the moment but I believe it is at {View |
Incoming Data}.

Is it possible the TNC is causing the transmit rather than Xastir? What TNC
are you using? If you manually transmit from the Xastir menu does it behave
as expected?

Hi Dave

Thanks for the tip.  I tried it but it made no difference.  The tnc still
transmits at 30 min intervals, no matter the setting.

I did start xastir as non-root ( i.e. xastir &) or should it be sudo (sudo
xastir &)?

Joe,

Make the changes you want...

Then { File | Configure | Save Config Now! }...

Then Quit Xastir...

Then Start Xastir...

Observe if changes "stuck".

Hi all

I have xastir set to transmit position reports every 5 minutes
(Configure|Timing|Posit TX Interval).  (5 minutes may be too often but I am
only using this temporarily for testing).  I would like to set the timing
to every 15 minutes.  However xastir is beaconing every 30 minutes
instead.  I can’t see any other setting to change position timing.  Why is
this?  Am I missing something?

My station is configured as a weather station and my transmit option is
Station position, Zulu date-time and weather.

Thanks
