[aprssig] Sub-second timeslots

[Wes Johnston]

I once hooked two KISS tnc's back to back.  Was catching 9k6 mic-e packets 
at the 2m voice repeater receiver and gating them out on 144.39 at 1200 
baud.  Neat experiment... there was no need to mute the mic-e packets they 
just sounded like squelch tail.
