It's a Mic-E transmission which packs the latitude value of the posit into a 
"fake" destination "call". .    Note how the "destination" is varying as he 
moves around.   Since Malaysia is practically on the equator, the Mic-E 
"destination" value will be sharply different from what we see from Kenwoods 
and TinyTracks in our latitudes in the US, Canada and Europe.

The Mic-E format is used by Kenwood radios.  There is a very high chance these 
posits are being generated by a Kenwood, since these radios are actually 
manufactured in Malaysia.   .
