[arm-allstar] Is CTCSS enable/disable possible using dtmf?

[LaRoy McCann]

OK, I figured it out.

I had ctcssfrom=no in simpleusb.conf.
We normally would leave tone off, but want to turn it on if there was 
interference issues.

I was trying to turn ctcss on with the cop,56 command.  This would not work.

But, If if set ctcssfrom=usb, then I can turn it off with the cop,57 
command.


So, you can turn it off if it is on by default, but you can't turn it on 
if it is off by default.

Thanks,

LaRoy McCann, K5TW
