Both hangtime and althangtime are set to 100 mS.

This looks doable.  I need to keep hangtime short as the node is
connected to the link port of the controller with duplex set to 1.

Otherwise I was set to start making some changes to the AutoSky script
where it sleeps between the "Updated weather information" and the tail
announcements.

I presume that since the AutoSky script controls the announcements that
calling the COP macros will need to be added to that script, i.e.
something on the order of:

/usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt cmd $Ni cop 19"
.
. Present code to play the announcements
.
/usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt cmd $Ni cop 20"

As that code block includes the "/bin/sleep 3" line, I can set
althangtime to something like 3300 to provide enough PTT key time.

Off to test!
