[amsat-bb] APRS Messaging QSOs (aux keyboard)

[Robert Bruninga]

What I wish APRS radio manufacturers would do is add parsing on the GPS
port for messages from an external keyboard.  Then let hams build the
external keyboard.

The GPS parser is looking for GPXXX strings and could eequlaly well look
for APMSG...
And the external keyboard could generate the APMSG..... message.
Would seem to be a trivial ask...
