Yeah, it is working.

I pointed my aprx to port 9500 at the localhost:

<interface>
   tcp-device 127.0.0.1 9500 DPRS
   callsign    OH3BK-2  # must define actual callsign
   tx-ok       false    # DPRS monitor can not do transmit
</interface>

I'm getting the GPS-A location packets from D-STAR, and it looks like
they end in APRS-IS.
