[aprssig] ARPS physical layer

[Wes Johnston, AI4PX]

Reall, no... I'm referring to the bit stuffed into the each of the bit
shifted digipeater callsigns.  I wrote aprsdigi as kiss mode
digipeater 12 years ago and found this little idiosyncrasy.  At the
time, there were many mjf tncs and kpc3(nonplus) in the area and my
test bed TNC was a kpc4 dual port.

I've never looked at how AGWPE or other software TNCs do it.
