[aprssig] Amount of "padding" before and after data at 1200 baud?

[Scott Miller]

The preamble length also depends on how fast the receiver locks on and 
how fast the receiving modem gets clock sync.  I'd say 100 ms would be a 
minimum for normal APRS use, and I think my trackers default to 200 ms.

That is, you can send a series of beacons, and the timing will vary from one to the next.  I can look at the actual output, and would like to know what the minimum recommended times are so that I can insure that without just brute forcing long unneeded transmission times.
