[aprssig] Separate APRS frequency for object query

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

To have it available on RF would require an infrastructure of antennas, 
radios, and TNCs all tuned to the separate frequency.  Given that we 
don't have 100% coverage on 144.390, good luck getting additional 
coverage on another frequency!.
