IMPORTANT NOTE: These Source Address SSIDs are intended *ONLY* for
stand-alone trackers where there is *NO* other method of specifying a
display symbol.
Thus they are not applicable to nodes or digipeaters -- these will
usually be able to include a symbol code in the beacon text.
Someone asked me out-of-band if you can still use GPSxyz to specify a
digi or node. The answer is yes. e.g.
GPSBD digi (white center)
GPSODz green star. "z" is an overlay character.
Thus GPSOD1 is a star containing a "1"
GPSODT is a star containing a "T"
GPSBG HF gateway
GPSLN Node
These are DESTINATION calls, set with UNPROTO. For example:
UNPROTO GPSBD via WIDE, WIDE
See pages 83-85 of the draft APRS Protocol Spec for the full list of
GPSxyz symbols, in
