[Xastir] wx data and stream to map

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

What is the callsign-SSID of your xastir instance?  If it is X4XTT (no 
-SSID), then that would be the problem.  The APRS-IS will not forward 
packets to a station if the packet appears to have originated from that 
station.

Also, for the m/800 to work, you need to beacon a position from xastir.  
If we knew what the callsign-SSID is of the xastir instance, we could 
check that from here.

PS.  Every APRS instance must have a unique callsign-SSID if there's the 
remotest chance that they'll execute concurrently. Otherwise, strange 
(and hard to debug) things will happen.
