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

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

And tuning for the minimum that works in your neighborhood might not 
work in other areas depending on their particular RF infrastructure.  
IMHO, longer that works everywhere is better than tightly short that 
barely works in your local area and completely leaves you non-decodable 
elsewhere.
