We since you dont have a cor from the radio and you may not have 
discriminator audio the dsp may not work for you.

the dsp option does require discriminator audio and will not work from a 
speaker O/P.

But you can always use the Vox option when connected to the speaker.
I dont know if this option is supported on the RPI image but its a 
possibility.

This way the node would only transmit packets when it is actually 
receiving and not consistently sending data like taking the phone off 
hook after dialing a number.
