[aprssig] Remote Monitoring of Temperature

[Scott Miller]

Yeah, there's a setting for a temperature offset.  The LM335 is pretty 
linear, but there tends to be a significant bias error that's largely 
dependent on the ADC reference voltage.

Just check the real temperature with a thermometer, calculate the 
difference, and enter that value in the config program.
