[arm-allstar] Pi3 All Star Repeater Controller

[David McGough]

Ron,

Yes, you can turn the telemetry audio levels up or down, as needed,
relative to the overall audio level setting.

In rpt.conf, the 2 settings of interest are:

; Audio Level settings in dB
telemnomdb=-4
telemduckdb=-19


telemnomdb is the "normal" telemetry audio level.

telemduckdb is an alternate telemetry audio level which is used if someone 
"keys up" while telemetry is already playing.

I'll mention that if the default telemetry levels are excessively high, 
the overall TX level is likely set too high.

73, David KB4FXC
