[aprssig] Call for Beta Testers

[Charles Bland]

Jason,

I don't know why this makes a difference, but the reason you are seeing
that is because the DPI for your display is too low. You are the third
person to report this. The fix is to set the DPI for your display to a
higher number. In my case, the next available setting was 120 DPI.

This fixed it for all that have reported this. Again, I have no idea why
this happens as I have set nothing in the program that is related to this.

To make the adjustment:
o Right-click on the desktop
o Choose Properties
o Select the Settings tab
o Click the Advanced button
o Change the DPI setting to something larger until things look right.

As for the TNC interface, I am open to that. I started with the soundcard
approach because it is what I use and it is very easy to use the program
with just a computer and a receiver of some kind. But having a KISS
interface is not unreasonable.
