[aprssig] APRS RFID apps? (spec rev2)

[Bob Bruninga]

Patrick,

Also, I notice that the RFID tag says it has 32 bit tag range, but the protocol of the RFID reader reports the tag as five  8 bit bytes.  If we only need 4 bytes, then I can compress the entire tag space into the TOCALL alone, and make the packet shourter...

Can y ou resolve this?

thanks
Bob, WB4APR
