Turns out, I wondered why my local repeter object was invisible
to FINDU and now realize this is not an issue at all.  Most
Igates appear to ignore 3rd party format as a loop prevention
mechanism (this is wrong, but another topic not part of this
thread).  So my local 147.105+ object is not being seen on FINDU
or the APRS-IS, so this issue is moot.
