[aprssig] APRS Tracker Flyer

[Scott Miller]

I haven't included this with the OT1+ or Tracker2 because I don't see a 
good way to do it with most radios.  Without dual VFOs you're either 
listening to the voice channel or you're listening to the APRS channel 
to avoid collisions and decode waypoints and messages.

Voice Alert would be fine, only most people don't have radios that 
provide an unsquelched audio output for the tracker that's independent 
of the CTCSS-muted speaker output.
