[App_rpt-users] Beagleboard and USB URI dongle

[Steve Gladden]

Thanks Jim!
I read your reply *after* I asked.. sorry I missed it.

Do you also lose CTCSS encode or any kind of encode/tone /playback features?

I imagine encode functions are far simpler and basically lookup tables or
bitmap or PCM data.
