[arm-allstar] disable COS when keyed toward node

[Kevin Custer]

Patrick,

If it's going to be a while before David implements the software fix - 
there is - perhaps, a hardware way to accomplish this. Since logic is 
being created to make the radio go into transmit - that logic could be 
used to disable the COS line during that time.

If this radio has a Mini-DIN-6 connector - I'd be willing to modify one 
of my circuit boards (intended for a different application) to 
accomplish the task.  I think it would be rather easy to do.

Please advise if the connector on this radio is a Mini-DIN-6 and reply 
back - if interested.
