[App_rpt-users] Connect Doug Hall RBI-1 to URIx

[Robert A. Poff]

Support for the Doug Hall box already exists in app_rpt.

Do a search for "app_rpt frequency agile remote". 

As with most of this stuff documentation is scarce, but can be found with creative search strings.

I've not used the Doug Hall box, but have a Syntor X/XCAT running.
