[Xastir] Position data from Xastir not accepted by Yaesu FTM-400 or Direwolf

[Jason KG4WSV]

Maybe I've missed something, but I don't know how your packet is getting
from xastir to the receiver that's connected to direwolf. This is the
packet that direwolf (allegedly :) received, which may or may not be the
packet that xastir actually sent.

when I look at raw data from aprs.fi there are other mangled third party
versions of your packets, similar to the one you posted but with different
call signs in the digi/gate slots.
