==== Apogee Lockout
- Apogee lockout is the number of seconds after boost
+ Apogee lockout is the number of seconds after launch
where the flight computer will not fire the apogee
charge, even if the rocket appears to be at
apogee. This is often called 'Mach Delay', as it is
pressure increase, and so this setting should be left
at the default value of zero to disable it.
+ [WARNING]
+ Firmware versions older than 1.8.6 have a
+ bug which resets the time since launch to zero each
+ time a motor starts burning. Update firmware to get
+ the correct behavior.

+ ==== APRS Offset
+
+ The delay from the top of the minute before sending
+ the first APRS packet of the minute. Coordinating
+ values for this parameter between multiple devices can
+ allow a single receiver to reliably receive APRS
+ packets from multiple devices. Note that this offset only
+ takes effect while the GPS signal is locked so that the
+ transmitting device knows the current time.

==== Callsign
This sets the call sign included in each

delay by the 'main' channel.
