I configured the following beacon...
PBEACON delay=1 every=30 overlay=S symbol="House QTH" lat##^07.389N long=##^18.759W power=50 height=30 gain=8.3 comment="" via=WIDE2-1

But when it goes out on the air the height is reported as 40. At first I thought it was just a glitch or that the packet got corrupted over the air. But it isn't. It reports height=40 every time. It also reports power as 49.

APRS PHG settings like height, power, etc. are not arbitrary. There are limited, specific options allowed:

I don't believe this is a bug and if you agree, please close this issue.

Roger, Roger. I'll close the issue. This could be good fodder for the documentation though.
