[Xastir] New script: ads-b.pl for snagging airplane positions

[Curt Mills]

I should have thought of that! If you're using the same callsign to inject
as you're using in your Xastir instance, Xastir "adopts" those APRS Items
as its own and starts retransmitting them. We use that to good effect in
some instances to get Xastir to do that very thing.

Switch to a different SSID for injection and that problem should go away.
For instance WE7U-1 instead of WE7U.
