I modified the source code; in src/interface.c:
line 6895, in function output_my_aprs_data()
xastir_snprintf(header_txt, sizeof(header_txt), "%c%s\r", '\3', "CONV");
become
xastir_snprintf(header_txt, sizeof(header_txt), "%c%s\r", '\3', "K");

also, line 7382, in function output_my_data()
xastir_snprintf(data_txt, sizeof(data_txt), "%c%s\r", '\3', "CONV");
become
xastir_snprintf(data_txt, sizeof(data_txt), "%c%s\r", '\3', "K");


now my TNC is able to work. I'm still testing it but it seems to work.

I do not know if this is a firmware bug, but the CONV command is not 
recognized. Instead, the "K" command has to be given to enter the 
converse mode.

Is it possible to make this configurable without having to recompile 
Xastir? UIview allows this (they told me, I do not know exactly, as I'm 
not a window user)
