[aprssig] Suggested navigation GPS units

[Scott Miller]

GTRANS cables are backordered for a bit.  We're having to replace the 
solder stencil to (hopefully) fix a problem with the tiny little QFN 
microcontrollers not soldering right.  The next batch of MCUs also has 
to be programmed and taped.

Hopefully it won't be more than a couple of weeks.
