[arm-allstar] ctcss Tone Functionality

[David McGough]

Hi,

The scenario you're describing is typical operation for usbradio, I 
believe. I don't believe there is any additional capability (e.g.: 151.4 
keys only local, 71.9 keys all) currently implemented.

BTW, I'm not thoroughly familiar with the DSP "guts" of usbradio. 

Anyone else got any ideas?

soon as they dekey, the tone changes to 151.4 immediately for the 
repeater tail and courtesy tone. So the folks using 146.2 never hear the 
tail or courtesy tone.
