[arm-allstar] Link radio interface with duplex rptr

[Robert Conklin]

Thank you for your reply and kind advice, much appreciated.
However adding Allstar as a port to an existing repeater was not what I had
in mind.
I have assembled a repeater using Allstar/Asterisk as the controller and I
would like to add a UHF link radio to my repeater for linking to the link
radios of some of our regional VHF machines.
These local wide area coverage machines are unlikely to be altered from
their arcomm or Zetron controllers systems anytime soon by their
owner/operators. Am thinking that by providing link radio capability from
my nifty Allstar/Asterisk repeater to these legacy systems link radios
will, over time, well demonstrate the agility and reliability of the
Allstar/Asterisk repeater control system.
