[Xastir] Xastir setup

[kb8uih88 at charter.net]

Tom, Thanks for responding. I checked your instructions and checked my
settings. All seem to be as you suggest, with a few tweaks. I
discovered a major bleep up in my radio to tnc cable as the mic audio
was not wired correctly to the tnc. Now that is corrected, I am tx
packet data, digi'd by a local igate and so things seem to be going
correctly. I will watch it now and see how things go. 
Thank you again!!
Chris

Set up your station configuration with coordinates in
File->Configure->Station

 Set up beacon type in File->configure->Defaults

 Set up beacon frequency in File->Configure->Timing

 Look in your interface settings in Interface->Interface Control and
make sure 
 that you have set up your TNC correctly as an interface and that 
 "Allow Transmitting" is turned on.

 If it is all right, then open View->Incoming Data to watch what your
interfaces
 see, and then click "Interface->Transmit Now". You should see your
packet
 show up in the Incoming Data window. If you do not, your interface
may not
 be set up correctly. If you do see it, watch your radio to see if it
is
 actually transmitting (that is, do it again while watching your
radio).

 If your radio is transmitting but nobody is seeing your packets, your
TNC 
 audio may not be set correctly and may be creating packet audio that
is not 
 decodable. See page 18 of the TNC Pi manual for how to adjust
transmit
 audio on the device.
