Something is quite wrong with your set-up, as you're transmitting D700 (or
D7, or other Kenwood) commands (TC and GU).  These should never be getting
transmitted, they're supposed to be intercepted by the TNC and acted upon, and
they should only be getting sent to the TNC once, when sent as part of the 
start-up or shut-down sequences.

What sort of TNC are you using?  What type of interface do you have 
defined in Xastir?  What tnc start-up file are you using?
