Ah, the SATGATE digi.  And it is not pulling it out, that's
just the way AX.25 works when it is digipeated.  It only
displays the * on the last digi heard.  In this case it is
the SATGE digi, and so the RS0ISS-3* is being
suppressed by the normal function of the TNC that hears
the packet from the SGATE..  
It is not a conspiracy... <wink> just that's how TNC's work.

Nope, just the NEXT TNC (probably an IGate) that then
hears the packet and then displays  the SGATE* and 
suppresses the RS0ISS-3* which has already been used up...
