[aprssig] Failed APRS?

[Scott Miller]

I've experimented with that before, and didn't come up with a scheme I 
liked to avoid extra transmissions at stop lights and such.

With the T2 or OT1+, you can switch to a second, low-rate profile when 
the car is off (switching based on supply voltage can usually detect 
that) and set the transmit-on-switch option so it'll transmit 
immediately when you shut down.

And for the record, it's Pop Tarts and popcorn that I've GOT in the 
office... I'm out of spaghetti-Os and bagel dogs.  But it's mostly Coke 
Zero that fuels the software development, anyway.  =]

(BTW, 225 Tracker2 boards came in today, all UPS orders shipped already 
and postal orders will start shipping tomorrow.)
