Hello Xastir users,

I saw this today on the APRSDroid group and thought it would be worth 
passing on.  APRS-enabled Yaesu radios have always been limited in the 
fashion that you cannot access the TNC say like how you can with a 
Kenwood radio.  One feature they do have is to send the APRS data stream 
to the serial port.  This developer wrote a program to parse that data 
and send the relevant data to APRS-IS.   I wonder if a similar feature 
could be added to Xastir?
