[Xastir] Re: [aprssig] Local Repeater Displays on Mobiles

[Steve Huston]

So, how would I go about doing this *new* new format in Xastir?  I'd
found the way of editing objects.log to get the object in there before,
but it seems to not like this new format and so nothing happens.

Of course, if I was using a "normal" TNC this would go in the beacon
text, but it's not, so it won't - therefore I'm looking for a way to do
this properly in Xastir, ideally with no path as well but one step at a
time.

For the benefit of those who didn't see this thread on aprssig, it's below.
