You know more about it than I, judging from your recent post to
APRSSIG.  You're on the right track.

I think just turning on global igating from RF->INET in
File->Configure->Defaults, then doing the same for the RF interface
you're using should get you functional.  Whether you pop up on the
lists of satgates is most likely a function of the symbol & overlay
you choose, but that doesn't actually affect the satgate
functionality.

I'd be wary of gating in the other direction though, for satellites
anyway.
