[aprssig] UNPROTO 6 character alpha-numeric ?

[Robbie - WA9INF]

Chuck,

A very good way to learn about the workings of aprs packets is in the 
aprs specs101, and particular to your question, chapter 4. Those first 6 
charcters give you a lot of info. What equipment is being used, what 
software and version, kind of car, van, or truck, like GPSLJ means he is 
running GPS and driving a Jeep. TT2??? is a user of a TinyTrak and so forth.

Good Luck

Robbie
