Description

This re2 (using Go in my case) matches the APRS-IS header.

The format of the APRS-IS packet is TNC2 standard:

SOURCE>DESTINATION,PATH:PACKET

This regex matches the Q construct format used by APRS-IS:

``SOURCE>DESTINATION,PATH,QCON,FROMCALL:`

The result is a series of capturable groups:

Group 1: Src SSID Group 2: Dest SSID Group 3: Path Group 4: Q construct Group 5: From Calll
