[arm-allstar] User Record/Playback DVR Function (Signal check)

[Doug Kingston]

After some great help from Danny, K5CG, I have this working nicely.  There
was some magic involved in the choice of function code strings:

1. Add parrot=0 to the node config.  Do not specify parrottime in any form.
2. Create an appropriate prompting announcement:

cd /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
cat dictate/playback_mode.gsm silence/1.gsm dictate/record.gsm now.gsm >
/etc/asterisk/local/playback_mode_record_now.gsm

2. Add two functions:

9712921=localplay,/etc/asterisk/local/playback_mode_record_now
9712922=cop,55

3. Add a macro to invoke these:

5=*9712921 *9712922#     ; one time parrot invocation

To invoke: key up, dial *55, unkey.  Listen to the prompt.  Key up and send
a test transmission, unkey.  Listen to the playback.
This is working as I had envisioned (similar to an RC210 controller).
