In other words, it IS easy to accidentally gate these new packets to RF
and/or the APRS-IS? All it takes is using the same callsign-SSID on the
tool and xastir?

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.

I decided to try the script and at first things seemed fine but after a
while I noticed my rig keying up. It was sending ADS-B stuff to RF,
though seemingly delayed since it continued after I shut down the script
and so I also shut down xastir.
Checking on aprs.fi shows that I also sent some data to APRS-IS even
though I don't have xastir configured as an igate (I have G6GZH-1
running aprx for that). This is the first I see on aprs.fi raw log so
appears to be direct from my xastir and not igated elsewhere from my RF
transmission:

However: The possibility does exist so I want to make sure it doesn't
happen by mistake.
So I'm unsure what I might have configured in xastir to cause this if it
is not the expected default behaviour.
