[Xastir] Gating Wx alerts to RF

Well, another stormy day in Central Florida, and more Tornado warnings NOT gated to RF.
I really need someone to point me to the place in the documentation that I am missing. I have been through the README* files, INSTALL, etc... until my eyes are red, the program help screens, and the online forums AGAIN, I still cannot find what part of this that I am missing.
Since my last post, I did turn on Configure ->Defaults, Allow RF->Inet and Inet->RF traffic. That seemed reasonable.
I still have Disable all IGate Traffic enabled in the IGate Options of the AX.25 TNC Interface. I did not see anything in the docs that said I had to change that to gate Wx alerts. Once again, please correct me if I am wrong. As mentioned before, we have more than enough I-Gates in the area already, many of them are bi-directional.
I looked through the APRS IS filter docs to see if there was anything that would allow me to receive everything within my range filter, yet only gate certain calls or objects. I did not see anything that seemed to fit that criteria.
I am not sure what caused all of the extraneous question marks to show up in my last message. While I had questions, I was not THAT serious about them... :- >
Thanks

I know that this has been discussed before, but I seem to be missing something.?
My goal is to gate severe weather alerts to RF.? I have had a nws-stations.txt file setup for a?few weeks?now in the ~/.xastir/data directory. I have restarted Xastir a couple of times since then, if that makes a difference.?
I have the AWIPS files installed if that matters.
I have Disable all IGate Traffic enabled in the IGate Options of the AX.25 TNC Interface.? I am not interesting in functioning as a general purpose IGate.? I am only interesting in gating Wx alerts to RF.? We have plenty of IGates here in the Orlando area already.?
We had a few Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Warnings today from the local NWS office (MLB).? I did not gate any of them to RF.?
I looked in the Weather Alerts window and I see the warnings there.? I had the red alert "boxes" on the screen, until just a few minutes ago, when the warnings expired.?
Here is the text from one of the warnings listed in the Weather Alerts window;
MLBTOR BLQAA NWS_WARN 11 @2126z ==>? 11 @2215z YI FL_C061 TORNADO?
Here is what my nws-stations.txt looks like;
#Melbourne, FL, USA
MLB
#
KMLB
#
I put the KMLB in there because I had noticed that some of the Previous Wx alerts that I found on the web seemed to *maybe* come from KMLB instead of MLB.? I was not sure and I figured that it would not hurt.
So, is the problem that I have Disable all IGate Traffic enabled ??
Will I have to become a "full service" IGate to gate weather alerts to RF?
Thanks

I almost got my soon to be igate system setup but have run into a small
snag.
I am using a USB to serial adapter and I can't seem to get Xastir to talk to
the TNC? I tried it out first in minicom and In minicom I can talk to the
TNC perfectly.
But when I tried it in Xastir it will not start the interface. I am using
the port setting of /dev/ttyUSB0 in both programs.
Any ideas?

On the same system I mentioned in my previous email, I have Xastir to run on
startup. When it starts Xastir, the internet feed fails to connect until I
shutdown Xastir and restart it then it runs fine.
Any ideas?
I am hoping to place entire package in my garage so it will not be monitored
by me 24/7 so I would like to get it to self start if the power goes out as
the computer bios is set to restart if it is on when power goes out.

You sure you are allowing enough time for the network to come up before
xastir starts?

I am using a TNC-X and the flowcontrol can be an issue. stty needed to be used to disable flow control.
Might this be it?

Did you do:
su
chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/xastir
exit # from root
