This is part of a proposal that Jim and Bryan Doyle few others had back in
2006 or so.  Basically it was a simplex node that would monitor the calling
frequency for Long DTMF 0 "LiTZ" and then link into a given repeater node.

Note the Ranger nodes are prefixed with a 9 node number, and all 9 node
numbers will use the ranger courtesy tone.

Confused the heck out of me when I gave my 900 MHz test node number 927 and
then got this CT! http://keekles.org/~w9cr/40821%20wierd%20tone.wav
