[arm-allstar] CTCSS Output

[Kevin Custer]

The PiTone 2 documentation refers to using the Masters Communications 
RA-35 or RA-40.  While either of those work perfectly fine as suggested, 
the RA-42 was specifically designed to bring out the TXCTCSS logic 
through a buffer transistor.  Jumpers were reconfigured to allow this 
logic to be routed to a pin on the DB9 (without soldering), and a 
TXCTCSS indicator LED was added to visually show the status of the 
TXCTCSS logic.  Either GPIO 4 or 8 can be used as the source, and is 
selectable by a jumper.  GPIO 8 is default, and no additional soldering 
is required to use this output.  More information is available from the 
Masters Communications website.
