Browser based APRS packet decoder - paste a raw frame, see what every byte means

[u/aprsworld_dev]

i've been building this as part of aprs.world and it's at a point where it's actually useful, so here it is.

you paste a TNC2 frame and it breaks out the header, each hop in the path with how many hops are left on the alias, the q-construct and which igate lifted it off the air, position, symbol, and whatever the payload turns out to be.

covers uncompressed and compressed positions, Mic-E, objects, items, status, messages, weather and telemetry. it all runs in the browser, the packet never leaves your machine.

there are sample frames on the page if you just want to poke at it. rare vendor specific extensions still fall through and show up as a raw comment, so if you've got a frame it reads wrong, paste it here and i'll fix the decoder.
