[aprssig] Voice Repeater Frequency Objects

[Jeff N0JUH]

There was a tracker near me that beaconed once per minute even when the 
ham's car was not moving.  But apparently his GPS elevation drifts a 
little, and the A=xxx number was slightly different every time.  Instead 
of recognizing it as a duplicate position, my D700 put it on the 
frequency display every time.

So, was my D700 parsing the "A" value to decide that it wasn't a "dP", 
or will any change in the packet payload be interpreted as something new 
to display?  Thankfully, someone got him to shut the darn thing off :)
