[App_rpt-users] CTCSS and carrier squelch

[Jim Duuuude]

A reasonable and easy request. I went to great extremes (sarcasm intended)
to make a 1 line change in chan_usbradio to accommodate this need.

A new copy of chan_usbradio.c will be posted to the SVN later today once
Steve gets home and does it. 

It will add the "rxctcssoverride" parameter to usbradio.conf, allowing
the rx CTCSS to default to off. (you have to put "rxctcssoverride = yes"
in the file.

You then specify your CTCSS tones like you would normally (as if you were
going to require them for access), but the receiver will not require any tone
to actually receive.
