[aprssig] software talking in converse

[Dave Baxter]

I'd tend to agree on this, KISS is (suposedly) a uniform spec across all
(most) makes of TNC, so why use Converse mode for machine to machine
comms, as that changes even within one makers family of TNC on ocasions.

I don't use a PK232, or PK88 by the way, but some info re TF2.7 can be
found at...
