[Xastir] Installing Xastir on Raspberry Pi Model 2B

While the TNC-X / TNC-Pi are fine products and fun kits to build, they 
are fairly simplistic TNCs.  If you would like to increase your packet 
decode rates, try out 9600BAUD G3RUH (discriminator tap required), as 
well as new 2400 and 4800BAUD based PSK modes, give Direwolf a try.  It 
has it's own APRS stack but it can also be used as both a serial-based 
TNC and a TCP-based KISS TNC all at the same time for use with Xastir.  
It's a very impressive tool that has native Raspberry Pi binaries 
available. All it requires is a inexpensive USB sound card and a simple 
PTT transistor circuit.

Btw, the new Beta version has added AX.25 v2.2 support including 
connected session support via the AGW API interface.  As far as I 
understand it, it's the ONLY AX.25 v2.2 implementation out there where 
it's Selective ACKs can make a real difference!
