Enable that for each interface (Properties dialog) you wish to
transmit the stuff, plus enable the same option in
File->Configure->Defaults.

See "README" and the Xastir online help (inside the program itself,
the "Configure Default Operation" section) WRT the nws-stations.txt
file.  This is the file which tells Xastir which "FROM" callsigns to
gate data to RF for.

By default Xastir only gates messages and message ack's/nak's
to/from RF if you enable the INet->RF options.
