[aprssig] APRS on all Radios!!!!

[Scott Miller]

Makes sense... I know there's a lot of energy in the human voice 
spectrum below 250 Hz, but I suppose it doesn't have much impact on the 
intelligibility.  Is it safe to assume that the transmitter is high-pass 
filtering the mic audio to avoid interfering with the CTCSS tone?  And 
that the CTCSS frequencies are high enough to avoid getting eaten by the 
PLL?
