It's certainly possible that you've discovered another small bug.

The intent for the "Select Direct" button is that third-party
packets not be included.  I think we do that properly.

The intent for the "Select TNC" button is that anything received via
TNC should be disabled when this button is disabled.  Whether or not
we currently do that is up for debate.

Perhaps third-party stuff (stuff sent out to RF via an igate in
third-party packet format) isn't handled correctly?

Perhaps remote posits that are sent out via an igate aren't handled
correctly?

If you can log some of these packets and then send the pertinent
parts along with a description of what you think is incorrect in
their handling, please do so!  Thanks.
