[arm-allstar] Pause or delay saytime.pl

[Doug Crompton]

There are two statements you can use in rpt.conf to avoid this issue.

telemduckdb=   where the reduction in db is how much the telemetry is
reduced in volume when someone is talking.

holdofftelem=  if set to 1 will hold off telemetry until there is no
activity.


Using RXKEY is not straight forward. You need to use events and it would
need to be a custom script and at the moment I don't have time  to do this.
I realize you have an issue with this but many others don't and live with
the way it works now.
