[aprssig] Speed transmit suppression

[Scott Miller]

At a glance, the TT3 doesn't seem to have that option.  Never noticed that
before.

But yes, the OpenTracker will let you disable that, OR you can have it
switch configurations above a certain speed (say 65 mph) to selectively
disable speed reporting.  That way you don't get nagged by your significant
other about that 85 mph speed on findu.  (I always try to pass it off as a
metric conversion or rounding error, but I don't know if anyone's buying
it.)
