[arm-allstar] Star-9-9 Indicator?

[Mike Saeger]

I tried your suggestion. It didn't quite work.

I press Star-9-9 on my phone.

   - I hear the tone pair on my HT (not on the phone where I want to hear
   it)
   - The radio immediately switches back to receive and does not wait for
   the "#".

It seems the line:
/usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt cmd 53619 cop 6"
doesn't work.

Perhaps it just can't be done.
