Yaesu FTM 400 packet in non-standard format

[Remotruker]

It is widely known that the Yaesu radio does not output a standard packet, but it seems that the issue of parsing the data could be overcome. For example APRSISCE/32 is able to take the data stream directly and utilize it.

I'd like to see a workaround here for Xastir as well.

My project is an iGate in my vehicle using the FTM 400, and a Raspberry Pi running Xastir. My alternatives, are to add additional components to deal with the packet issue, thereby complicating the system.

If i were to run windows, then APRSICE32 would be a solution, but I have no desire to have a laptop/netbook/whatever for thieves to rip-off when a Pi is easily hidden!

Details for the issue are/were also experienced with aprsdroid here: ge0rg/aprsdroid#141

I just discovered there there is a simple piece of code here to resolve the issue as well here:
