[arm-allstar] Kenwood TH-D74 DTMF troubles

I only use a D74 with my allstar node.

All the DTMF keys work fine...but I had to enable them in the node 
first.  (only the *8x ones worked out of the box)...I had to add *A1, 
*71 etc. to the node.

My D74 DTMF settings are...

(from Menu -> TX/RX->DTMF)

TX Hold - Off

Encode Speed - 150ms

Pause Time - 750ms

And I have programmed a number of commands in also (in DTMF Memory)
