[arm-allstar] Baofeng 888s, RIM-Lite, RPi Allstar node, low audio.

[Mike]

Thanks for the info.  I had been to that menu setting before, but didn't 
realize that display was for audio level checks.  And that helped back 
what I thought it was sending.


I have some issue, with everything turned up, I am way below the 
required level.   I will continue to troubleshoot.
