[arm-allstar] Autopatch CT & ARRL news

[Robert Conklin]

I am genuinely appreciative of everyone's time. Thank you!

Explanation:
Have observed that few people realize or remember that with most equipment
an autopatch call is a half duplex conversation.
Even if I state we are conversing at half duplex at the beginning of the
autopatch conversation, doubles happen frequently.
Am thinking that If I could tell folks I am calling via autopatch and that
they should not to talk til after they hear the CT beep & say "over" after
their piece is said, this would maybe reduce doubles.

Changing the noct=1 to noct=0 enables CT to be heard on the RF side during
an autopatch qso, but does not propagate the CT to the telephone. Don't
know what to do next.

In regards to the Scripts "how to" for setting up an automated ARL news
feed on my node; I have been trying to implement with no success yet, but
that's almost certainly my lack of experience. I am not proficient in
implementing or manipulating code.
Was wondering if there was a simpler way by possibly using the echolink
news feeds from the ARRL.
I will keep hammering at it, success is inevitable with persistance.

Thank you all very much for your advise!
