[aprssig] TomTom Bluetooth

[KA7O]

Sorta "like this" - but different.

I've a very inexpensive Bluetooth GPS receiver ($25) talking to my HP 
laptop running Xastir, via Bluetooth. Laptop uses a USB to RS232 
(PL-2303) adapter to talk to a KPC3+ and then to a Motorola GM300.

Works well and was easy to seutp on Fedora.
