I am running release 2.1.4 and I see the same issue. I assumed it was the
norm. I tried changing the igateMyCall to "yes" and I didn't see any change.

I guess the answer is to use ax.25 tools on a kiss TNC and connect the IGate
and a compatible client to share a TNC. I would also like to adjust my path
within the client instead of the default of the aprsd IGate from gate2rf.
