What you've got there is partly by design and partly a mistake on my part.

The third parameter (410 vs. 1101, 394 vs. 1079) identifies the thransponder. 
The old channels.conf didn't had the nid value (2nd timer parameter) set, so 
the transponder frequency was used. The new channels.conf has the nid set to 
the correct value resulting in the tid being used there. This is by design 
and IMHO a correct way to do it.

The 5th parameter is the rid. values above 16384 are used by the autopid patch 
and should not show up in timers.conf. The next iteration of the patch will 
correct that.
