Allow option for APRS Symbols to be defined/configured. #122

Closed W0CHP closed 1 year ago

W0CHP commented 1 year ago

This PR adds a Symbol= option to [APRS] stanza in config, to allow user to define APRS symbol. Backwards-compatible, and will default to the standard DMRGateway D& symbol (diamond with "D" overlay) if Symbol= is not defined.

Supports primary and alternate/secondary symbol selections, plus overlays[^1].

Examples:

[APRS]
Symbol=/r (repeater tower)
Symbol=Wi (black square [alternate] with "W" overlay)
Symbol=\> (alternate car icon)
Symbol=/l (computer)

(Note that only one Symbol= should be defined in the [APRS] config section/stanza.)
