[aprssig] OT timing

[Scott Miller]

Depends on if you're using timeslotting or not.  If timeslotting is 
turned off, they'll wait the specified interval, and then transmit as 
soon as the channel is clear.  The counter starts over again after that 
transmission.  It's not tied to any external clock, and can drift quite 
a bit if the channel is busy.

If you've got timeslotting turned on, then it's synchronized to the GPS 
time.  For multiple trackers, you'll need to set a different offset for 
each one.
