[aprssig] AutoResponders talking to AutoResponders

[Greg D]

Good idea! Unfortunately, Kenwood's implementation on the D7 doesn't, 
and their user guide only talks about what the setting does, now how it 
is supposed to be used. So, years ago (when I had no idea what I was 
doing) when I set the thing up, it seemed like a good idea to have it 
on. Hadn't thought about it until yesterday...
