[arm-allstar] Duplex function not working correctly?

[David McGough]

My main complaint with all the legacy, stand-alone analog controllers is
that you must adjust audio levels and sometime others settings by
adjusting analog potentiometers in the controller.

Call me lazy, but I really like the ability to digitally adjust AllStar
levels from miles away from the repeater, while mother nature would prefer
to soak and freeze my butt! LOL...

one port before I finally moved completely away from it. 
I had mine working just peachy with it.

And come on Doug... If you pay for a repeater, hardline, duplexers and an 
antenna, what is a few hundred bucks for a plug and play hardware 
solution? Lol. A 210 is an excellent buy for someone that doesn’t want 
to learn coding.
