[arm-allstar] TX loop

[Bryan St Clair]

Doug,

Yes, I have duplicated it on 2 radios, 2 different locations when testing.

The loop is often 2-3 key ups, but in testing now, I was able to get 21 key
ups.

The 888 is as far away as the cables allow.

I updated the rxondelay to 5 and I still get the loop.

I don't think its related, but this node has lost its callsign in the voice
ID.  Spells out Unknown option now.
