[arm-allstar] command to disable transmit?

[Danny K5CG]

Hello Patrick,

I did this in another way that is outside of the AllStar built in functions. I use a Pi Relay Hat with three relays on it. One of the relays is for DC power to the transmitter (only, I have a separate receiver that is always on).

The relay is controlled from a GPIO pin where the transmitter power is disabled by default. After the OS boots up a startup script turns the DC power to the transmitter on.

I also have temperature sensor on the transmitter heat sink and a cron job that runs once every minute to check the temperature. If the temp is over X degrees, then I use the same GPIO pin and relay to turn off the transmitter power.

With those scripts I also have DTMF commands that can turn on and off the DC power to the transmitter.

No, because the radio still transmits what is sent over the network to 
the node. What I want to do is actually prevent the connected radio from 
transmitting. Admittedly, this has limited use, but that's what I'm 
looking for.
