[App_rpt-users] more on bulletin playback

[Ken]

I use "playback"
Although I call it from a Linux script  
The script disconnects the DSTAR bridge, puts all 5 nodes in "bulletin
mode", and then calls the function that does the playback.

After the bulletin is done, it reverses the process, putting everything back
the way it was.

It has occurred to me that maybe one key component is that you have defined
something as the talk-over ID, because the default is NONE.
Mine is CW
idtalkover=|iw4brm/r		; Talkover ID (optional) default is none
