I know it's a series of numbers plus a time/date stamp.  Also, we're in both Tornado and Hurricane country so I'd hoping we can use this new feature to gate those out the RF world here in Austin.  If there is a definitive list somewhere, I'd appreciate it.

output_igate_rf() (for normal messaging and ACK's) and
output_nws_igate_rf() (NWS- and SKY messages) are only called from
db.c:decode_message().  This is the decode routine used for
"Messages, Bulletins and Announcements".

If you're sending an object or item format for the storms, they
won't get igated to RF.  They'll get displayed ok on Xastir though.

I just looked at my logs.  I saved a bit from storm Kyle:

Looks like non-messages to me.  :-(  I don't think they'll get gated
to RF.  There's no code in place to do gating of anything other than
messages to RF.
