[aprssig] Trying to Specify the CRC-16-CCITT FCS

[John Hansen]

Kenneth:

The source code for TNC-X (including the CRC) calculation is available on
my documentation page:

http://www.tnc-x.com/documentation.htm

The code is pretty thoroughly commented.  Note the starting value and the
xor manipulation that occurs at the end.
