[arm-allstar] How difficult would it be to add dpl to the repeater controller of this distro?

[Pierre Martel]

msr and mtr 2000 are 2 different beast. but one thing I am sure is that the
mtr need to be in station mode to work with an external controler.

this is the way you really need to work it:

It worked for me and I was able to even use an mtr as a dmr repeater (just
for test) and a dstar repeater
