    You can go ahead and turn your IGate back on.  I think I just
    figured out what's happening!  Those packets are something trying to
    use Konverse mode to command a TNC, but the TNC is just transmitting
    the commands as the payload of a packet.  Consider:<br>

    <br>
    The first packet is "K" to put the TNC into Converse mode.<br>
    <br>
    The second packet is the command to set the Unproto to SXUQXT
    (probably 1/2 of the Mic-E coordinates) Via WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1.<br>
    <br>
    The third packet is the other 1/2 of the Mic-E coordinate which is
    why APRS.FI complains about it.  The first half has been replaced by
    APX201.<br>
    <br>
    It's definitely coming from the source and not being mucked about by
    anything in between, IMHO.  It's just a waste of good RF bandwidth
    until he gets it fixed!<br>
