[aprssig] Why do we not use APRS 9600?

[Jonathan Delaney]

The reason for 9600 is because all of the mobile/handheld radios already 
have 1200/9600 capability. 
Thanks for all the info guys just seemed strange that we have a capability 
and rarely use it with modern equipment. I do see all the negatives on why 
it is not used. Range being the problem for me as I would rather be heard 
on the digi range end than have a faster packet. And no I am not going to 
tell them to change I am just wondering why it is seldom used when the 
capability is there since about 2010.

1200 sucks, but 2400 and 4800 suck proportionally less, and are 
proportionally more difficult.
No particular reason to stay in the standard baud rates either. 3200 might 
be the sweet spot.
