    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.
