I have two computers:

1) iGate (N6NU-8):  Port 1: internet  :  firenet.us port 14580 (m/200
-b/CW* -b/WX*)
           Port 2: KAM+ KISS :  VHF 144.39
Gating RF <-> Inet enabled.

When I do a "Trace query" on the iGate to my car (N6NU-9), the query goes
out the  VHF port directly.

2) Client (N6NU-10): Port 1: internet  :  firenet.us port 14580

Sending messages from this machine to my car (N6NU-9) works fine. When I
do a "Trace query" nothing happens.
