The example below has been used by VK2DOT XRouter 16 & 32 bit for years, on the Australian APRS network of 147.125Mhz.
NOTE: No IGATE is used in this example. XR32
& XR16 uses port 8000 to interface to UI-View.
Setup XR32 port
for APRS:

; Example
APRS-only port.
; Note
the use of an alternate IDTEXT, and the use of CFLAGS to
