[arm-allstar] Pause or delay saytime.pl

[David Panscik]

 Hi Doug,
I think holdofftelem might be what I am looking for.
Is there a time value for holdofftelem that is used to determine no activity?
Thanks for the advise.  Much appreciated.
David

 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.
