[aprssig] The best resolution of position from APRS

[Robbie - WA9INF]

Curt and the group,

Copying from the Help File of UI-View32;

Compressed - If this option is checked, then your position is 
transmitted in APRS compressed format. Please note that some software 
can't decode compressed format, and also it makes your beacons 
completely meaningless to any casual observer using a simple terminal 
program, so use this option with caution.

I wonder if Roger used Base-91 Compressed format?

So far, I find no further information yet... I assume if he programmed 
it to be sent, it would receive it, :-)
