Hello,

Is what is written below from http://www.aprs-is.net/IGateDetails.aspx
the default behavior in XASTIR if gating from IS to RF is checked in
the interface area?  (and IGating is enabled in the default area)

-------
Gate message packets and associated posits to RF if

    the receiving station has been heard within range within a
predefined time period (range defined as digi hops, distance, or
both).
    the sending station has not been heard via RF within a predefined
time period (packets gated from the Internet by other stations are
excluded from this test).
    the sending station does not have TCPXX, NOGATE, or RFONLY in the header.
    the receiving station has not been heard via the Internet within a
predefined time period.
    A station is said to be heard via the Internet if packets from the
station contain TCPIP* or TCPXX* in the header or if gated (3rd-party)
packets are seen on RF gated by the station and containing TCPIP or
TCPXX in the 3rd-party header (in other words, the station is seen on
RF as being an IGate).
