[Xastir] Vehicle Android Computer

[Tom Henderson]

I'm using APRSDroid with the FTM-400 to display the data received by the 
radio. The connection to the radio is made with a Yaesu serial cable and 
a bluetooth serial adapter. This provides output only from the radio, as 
Yaesu does not implement a full TNC.
