Filtering own call?

Hi all, I am struggling with messaging through my digipeater.

I have a digipeater running using W2JKT-1 and W2JKT-3 as interfaces/transmitters (one on 2m and one on 70cm). I have several personal devices on various other SSIDs as well. What I'm seeing is that when a message addressed to one of my other SSIDs comes in from APRSIS, I see it come in the log, but aprx does not transmit it on either interface. 

For example, a messages from some call to W2JKT-10 will come in from APRSIS, but it won't be transmitted over the air even though W2JKT-10 has recently beaconed through the digipeater. 

Is aprx filtering its own call on a global SSID basis, or am I just missing some configuration to make this work right?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Eric,

Here, I have a similar configuration with a single RF interface and APRX transmit from APRS-IS on RF messages to others SSID with the same call.
I do not remember if I have modified the original "aprx.conf" config file but I have positive filters in "source" sub-sections of "digipeater" section.
Extract of my config file is below.
You can note I have added a negative filter to reject packets without interest to leave space in our VHF 1200 bds channel.

Hope that can help you :)
