[Xastir-dev] Put data on APRS-IS

[Greg Eigsti]

The APRS spec would likely contain the specification for any and all data
strings.  Looking at Bruninga's site I see that they are working on v1.2; I
have been reading v1.0.1.

My guess is that anything xastir writes to APR-IS (igate or not) would be
within APRS spec "tolerances".

I have been working on a packet decoder in c to help me understand actual
data strings better.  You are welcome to it if interested (though I am sure
that something similar is already in xastir).  It is more "human readable"
than "machine optimized" since it is a learning endeavor...

Though I may be completely wrong ;)
