[aprssig] D700 owners Packet Capability Urgent

[Wes Johnston]

Put TNC is 'TNC PKT' mode and connect to a laptop.  Expect problems at
9600 baud with buffering, and keep the frame lengths to 127 bytes or
less.  Should be OK.  I agree with Eric though... use a "real" external
TNC for the heavy lifting.
