[App_rpt] idtalkover parameter

[Mark Hagler]

Thank you for the explanation... that works fine I just was not clear
on how it should function.   If I key up the receiver while the ID
message is playing it plays the morse ID immediately so that functions
exactly as advertised.


Thanks,

Mark Hagler
