[App_rpt-users] CTCSS and carrier squelch

[Jim Duuuude]

You have to set a txctcssdefault frequency. If you dont want PL unless
someone is encoding it, then include "itxctcss=yes" in app_rpt.c (in the
clause for the node), but you still have to specify some tx default
frequency whether you ever use it or not.
