[arm-allstar] DTMF

[Kenneth Grimard]

hi david

yes but I have had problems with my simplex link radio even after i have 
tried
adjust the de-emphasis settings and tried different various levels.

not all my radio's would decode properly. that is why i had turned it 
back on
and recompiled the allstar code.

Now why does jim dixon wb6nil have it on by default in the master 
allstarlink source tree
by default? there must have been a reason why he put that code in there 
and enabled it.

turning that back on stopped all my troubles with this dtmf stuff.
but then i had to deal with the false decoding from certain people's voices
when this was on.
