Update - there's a new test/development release of APRX posted now
that I took for a spin.

Below are some telemetry transmissions from the new (2.03 test2) version:

K5DAT-10>APRX23,TCPIP*,qAC,FIFTH:T#085,19.2,0.4,76.0,12.0,1.0,00000000
K5DAT-10>APRX23,TCPIP*,qAC,FIFTH:T#086,15.5,0.0,67.0,15.0,0.0,00000000

Much better - I was pleasantly surprised to see a new release already.
