It should enable interoperability with classical Linux APRS software, such as Xastir with `kissattach`. Some LoRa ARPS implementations transfer plain text APRS messages over LoRa, for this mode operations 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. # APRS AX.25 protocol
