[aprssig] delayed packets

[Mark Cheavens]

Wes,
It has happened with other applications, it is just  that Ui-View is 
the most prevalent application being used.

What TNC's are in use?

I have seen this MANY times with KPC-3's. I have NEVER seen it with a 
TNC-2 and KISS ROM!
It has also been seen in many locations with KPC-3's when operated in 
standalone DIGI modes.
