[arm-allstar] hamvoip as a repeater controller

[Steve Smith]

You can do all of what you are wishing for plus way more.  We use 
HamVOIP Allstar to control the South Lyon (N8SL) repeater (a Yaesu 
DR-1X).  Our implementation is actually a bit more complicated than 
yours will be because we also control the switching of the Fusion 
repeater to analog FM from C4FM digital using a separate program called 
MABEL which is running on the Raspberry Pi with HamVOIP.  In addition, 
we wrote a program called PiTone which runs on the Raspberry Pi to 
generate a transmit CTCSS tone.  You can find lots of information about 
it at www.customcomms.net/files  and www.hamprojects.info/pitone.
