[aprssig] parked cars

[Nick Kotch]

Actually, I use a standalone KPC3+/GPS tracker and from what I understand if
you set the LT buffers to CLEAR after they are transmit... I think it's
using something like the BLT 00:05:00 CLEAR command or something similar...
then once the GPS is turned off and it transmits that last position in the
buffer, then the buffer is cleared and it no longer transmits.  

So assuming you can just turn off the GPS then the feature is already in the
KPC3+

Well, there's your problem.  Hmm, maybe I need some sort of competitive 
trade-in thing - maybe a discount on an OpenTracker if you promise to not 
use your KPC-3+ as a mobile tracker anymore?  =]
