DESCRIPTION

16       xastir_udp_client  sends  packets  into  the  UDP  listening port of an
17       enabled xastir instance.

EXAMPLES

21        xastir_udp_client localhost 2023 <callsign>  <passcode>  "APRS  Packet
22       Goes Here"
23
24       Currently  that  will inject the packet into Xastir's decoding routines
25       and send it to any TCP-connected clients. It will also igate it to  the
26       INET  if  you have igating enabled.  It will send the packet out the RF
27       ports as third-party packets only if you add the  "-to_rf"  flag  after
28       the passcode like this:
29
30        xastir_udp_client  localhost  2023  <callsign> <passcode> -to_rf "APRS
31       Packet"
32
33       The UDP client is useful for generating and injecting APRS packets from
34       external  scripts.   It  can  also be used to fetch the callsign of the
35       remote xastir server by using the -identify flag:
36
37        xastir_udp_client localhost 2023 <callsign> <passcode> -identify

NOTES

41       This is a very simple utility that provides no  validation  of  message
42       content.
