[arm-allstar] allstar node with hamvoip stopped reading cos correctly

[David McGough]

Hi Don,

I'm not sure what might be causing this issue, I expect the problem
occurrence during the update is just a coincidence.

Without knowing more about your setup, I'm hesitant to suggest to many 
changes, since that might make things worse.

If you're running only a single node with simpleusb, you might try running 
the simpleusb-tune-menu program and then "flip" the COS input to the 
opposite active state. So, using option 'J' if the current state is "usb", 
switch to "usbinvert" ...OR, vice-versa. That should keep the TX from 
being constantly keyed. Then, try signaling from the RLC4.

Contact me off-list if you'd like for me to take a look at it, etc.
