[Xastir] I-Gate setup

[Chris Matthews N9JCA]

I have been using the IGATE setup that comes with Xastir both mobile and 
at home
never had any problems; only problem I have is when I set radius for 
500+miles there is a station that is setup 24/7 with an Emergency beacon 
kinda frustrating at times

BTW Dave have you moved from Queensland?
