For interoperability with other APRS LoRa implementations, which do not use AX.25 frames, but use text based messages, need to use **TNC (plaintext TNC2)** APRSDroid connection protocol and set `cfg.EnableTextPackets/CFG_TEXT_PACKETS` to `true`, this way KISS will be disabled and TNC2 compatible mode will be activated.

It should enable interoperability with classical Linux APRS software, such as Xastir with `kissattach`. - NB! Some popular LoRa ARPS implementations transfer plain text APRS messages over LoRa, for this mode operation need to set `cfg.EnableTextPackets/CFG_TEXT_PACKETS` to `true`, in this case iGate will transmit, receive and digirepeat text based APRS messages instead of classical AX25 frames.
