[arm-allstar] Feature request: Mute DTMF after * received

[Patrick Perdue]

Hi:

On my system, lots of folks are using DTMF to control their nodes. This 
is fine, but sometimes, it can be a real pain during nets when someone 
tries to disconnect between transmissions, slowly dialing the sequence, 
getting it wrong, trying again, etc. With almost all nodes on the system 
being simplex, and with many digital modes connected, this can really 
slow things down. Aside from having everyone use other methods, such as 
fast auto-dialers, Node Remote, CLI etc. would it at all be possible to 
mimic the behavior of echolink and some other systems, in which audio 
transmission to the network stops after the * character is received by 
simpleusb, but still allow in-band data to be processed in the normal 
way? My semi-education suggests that this would need to be done at the 
module level, if it can even be done at all.

I, personally, never issue DTMF commands during nets, either using Node 
Remote on my phone or some other method to silently control my node. Not 
everyone can do this.

Thanks and 73
