[Xastir] D72 external GPS pass-through to Xastir

[Kurt Savegnago]

Hi,

I added some commands that Kai, LA3QMA, came up with for the D7A(g) to get the connected GPS data to pass through to Xastir in his D72a
initialization file and it sort of works. I get a sailboat though for the station icon and I can't change it for the life of me. The icon stays as the usual in the setup configuration in Xastir. (A rocket in this case.)
The complete file is as follows with the part of interest in the last lines. Take a look and try it with a D72 and an attached GPS.
Please critique and make improvements as seen fit.
It may not be perfect but the D72A will pass-through coordinates from an attached external GPS. I can get the icon situation straightened out when I use a D7A(g) but a sailboat with the 72? :-)
