Don't necessarily trust the log.  There's no guarantee that we log
everything, or log it in the manner or to the log file you expect.

Trust the RF.  Put another handheld on that frequency and listen, or
watch your TX LED on the TNC or on the radio.  See if you're
actually transmitting the stuff to RF.  It may be fooling you.

Of course it's also possible that it's not working.  We should all
keep thinking about both possibilities to see if there's another
thing that needs doing to make this all work for you.

It's been a while since I gated stuff to RF in this manner so I'm
rusty on the details.  There are others on here that have done it
and are hopefully gating things to RF currently, so perhaps they'll
speak up shortly and you can duplicate one of their configurations.
