[Xastir] TH-D72A with Internal GPS working with Xastir

[Kurt Savegnago]

Sooooooooooo,

  Does this mean that someone else has been able to confirm this?
The problem I had with the D7A(g) operating in that fashion is that even
though the GPS position was passed through to Xastir, Xastir treated it
as "just another station".  If one can get Xastir to look at that data as 
the location of "your" station, I can see some use to it. 
  I couldn't quite figure out how to reassign that data stream to my stations position.  I also noted a random assignment to the icon and the positions end up coming in under the "incoming data" field.
  I said the above was with the D7A(g).  Is that the way it behaves with the D72?  If so, I don't see where that would be of any help.  If setting it up as a serial TNC with a GPS on an AUX port corrects that.  I'm in luck! :-)
