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

[kd4ont]

I think this very well could be the answer to some issues we are having. Repeater mode is just messing up stuff too much, even without the node inline. I'll pass this info to my repeater guy. Thanks.

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
