Xastir is a very GOOD aprs program but I wish it had the ability to igate to RF better also. That may be one of its more noticeable deficiencies.  I'd also like to see the ability to add status text, and PHG data when running a WX station, similar to UI-View. Finally, it's far from my skillset

Is it possible to send PHG information or status text if you are operating a weather station with Xastir?  If so, how do you do it?  If it isn't, which I suspect, can the authors please include some capability to do this?  UI-View does it.  I like Xastir more, but aside from putting the radio
