"Disallow unauthenticated" is an option in the javAPRSSrvr software
(the software behind the APRS-IS). Configuration of this option is
left to the discretion of individual server owners, so your results
may vary by server. For most servers, I expect you'll need to enter
your passcode to get any data.
