[arm-allstar] Need some troubleshooting help with Allstar/RPi2/888 w/ FOB

[Doug Crompton]

Jason,

  Sorry for all your problems. I am not sure what Devon did in that radio
but the mods on the web page and all the mods I have made on 888's use usb
and not usbinvert.  Maybe he picked up the signal from a different place. I
know that at least on his first batch of radios the PTT was inverted from
the default setting.

My offer of a phone chat still stands if you can't figure it out. I would
refrain from testing on a large system like wan until you get it right.
