Items are basically objects that don't include a timestamp in the packet
format. Objects are better supported in APRS software than items are, so
it's safer to always use objects instead of items. I understand items
were invented because items are shorter than objects and this difference
in packet length was at some point important to those deciding on the
protocol. Currently Bob lists items as deprecated in favor of objects in
his APRS errata.
