[aprssig] I'm brainstorming, so don't beat me up!

[Wes Johnston]

What about q15x25? mix32 (or is it mix-w) supports it... agwpe is
supposed to Real Soon Now. q15x25 is 15 PSK carriers with an aggregate
bit rate of 2500 baud on normal channels, and FEC. It's just a tweak
processor intensive to encode and decode.
