[Xastir] Am I actually getting RF to APRS

[n.heyen at comcast.net]

Thanks Fred, 



Interesting read, I can see why this isn't exactly a guaranteed process... I'll keep that in mind if there is ever enough traffic out here to worry about. But for now, I think I'll leave it enabled. 



Is there a way to filter out some traffic? Say there is someone who abuses messaging, can I filter out their traffic? Just curious if that is possible. Or even desirable to attempt.

This is a good write-up on messaging:

When you read this you might decide to also gate messages from internet to 
RF. 

Best regards, 
Fred
