[arm-allstar] DCS through an Allstar node

[Doug Crompton]

John,

 Hamvoip will not transmit DCS but it might pass it. The problem would be
if you or the node you are connected to had PL or DCS filtering turned on
in simpleusb.conf.  It is typically turned on by default however turning it
off does not mean it will necessarily work. The passband from radio to
radio through any intermediary would have to be able to handle the lower
frequencies. You could experiment with it. If you are going through a
repeater that uses PL or DCS it would typically filter the PL and DCS
frequencies from its output so I doubt it would work.
