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. -j On Tue, Oct 23, 2018 at 3:57 PM Tom Henderson <t...@henderson4.us> wrote: > OK, that explains what a third party packet is.
