[aprssig] LCD in the car

[jkelly]

The AutoPC power supply is designed to be fed with 2 - 12v lines.
One is hot all the time.  The other is the 12v sniffer.
The PC can be switched on at the operating seat (SPST) by powering
that sniffer line or you can wire it to power up whenever the car is
running by using the ignition switch circuit to power the 12v line sense 
line.
