[aprssig] The best resolution of position from APRS

[Brian Riley]

I own three d700's and 2 d7's .... I see on my display list on the  
d700 in my truck here in NWVT (my display has stations from VT,  
Quebec, and nearby NY, Ontario, MA, and NH) has 1/5th to 1/4th of all  
stations shown as d700s and they represent about 1/2 of the mobiles.  
I have seen the numbers steadily increasing over the last three years.

  cheers ... n1bq
