[arm-allstar] Audio Drop Out

[Doug Crompton]

Chris,

 Keep in mind that the PL decoding is being done in the 888. This has
nothing to do with Allstar so disregard my prior comments about levels.
While the simple-usb-tune-menu levela should be set correctly that would
not be a factor here. The problem is strictly between the two radios. You
could disconnect the radio from the Pi - pull the USB. Turn up the volume
on the 888. Then key into it. Scream into the mic and see if it talks off.
It might be a mic level issue on the 7000 being too high.
