   They're not broadcasting to a specific target application - the 
UNPROTO callsign that's being used is just a mechanism for identifying 
the application generating the packet.   Applications are free to use 
them for filtering data, though as far as I know, only the Kenwood rigs 
actually do that.  Inappropriately, as we see.  ;-)
