Over time we'll get more input from people using Xastir as an igate
and will get the little bugs worked out.  Feel free to switch back.

One of these years I'll make it to your fine state again with bow
in hand and can take care of some of the pronghorn problems for you.

What's an IGUP beacon?

As far as I know we only igate messages and NWS broadcasts.  Other
bulletins/posits don't go out over RF unless you specifically enable
them by adding them to the nws-stations.txt file.  I'm not even sure
how general the nws-stations.txt file is, and whether you can do
most/all of these types of things with it.
