Direction finding settings don't seem to save in beacon configuration


 

Hey all,
?
I have been trying to understand some of the direction finding extensions of ARPS.? I have specifically been reading from the APRS101 document starting on page 28 for the PHG and DFS data.? I believe that I should be able to set this in a beacon settings.? This data should then be displayed and calculated if I turn on View->Layers->show direction finding.
?
I can set some data for DFS in the beacon settings, make sure to save the settings.? When I beacon I do not see the data in the packet and when I go back into the settings for the beacon all the DFS? options are back to turned off.? It does not seem to save things.? The PHG settings seem to work.
?

Also a nice feature would be to have beacon button have a pull down where you could just hit the button and send what is your default beacon or chose one of the other beacons you have created or maybe a new option under message or query where a new window would open up with the PHG and DFS options and the ability to send a one time beacon with direction finding data.
?
If anyone has experience with these features I would love to talk with you.
