Xastir doesn't digipeat, except for RELAY digipeating that home stations
should do. You would need aprsdigi or digi_ned to do any further digipeating.

What is meant by "broadcasts"? Right now, Xastir will only dump from INET->RF
messages intended for stations heard locally, their related position packets,
and any NWS (US National Weather Service) packets that match callsigns listed
in ~/.xastir/data/nws-stations.txt (only NWS weather report packets are gated
to RF, so putting any callsign in nws-stations.txt won't cause Xastir to gate
any matching packet).

Xastir doesn't yet do the right filtering to determine if key modifiers like
those listed above are enabled, which in some cases (with LessTif, I think)
causes Xastir not to process those clicks. Look in the menu
File->Configure->Defaults and un-check "Warn if modifier keys". That will
disable the message.
