[aprssig] Tracking and Stacking

[Andrew Rich]

I made a simple tracker and realised I was sending full asii characters.

I now realise that I can stack more into a packet if I use 4 bit stuffing.

The character "4" and The chracter "7"

Ascii code for 4 - 0011 0100

Ascii code for 7 - 0011 0111

But if you look closely, all you ever want to do is go from 0 - 9

0000 - 1111 (0 to 15 in binary)

So you could go from

00110100 (4) 00110111 (7) to 0100 (4) 0111 (7) and get two digits in one
byte
