Has a module for Allstar been considered?

I have here a RPi4B loaded with ARM-Allstar loaded and on it
compiled the Codec2-dev library, for a start.

Thanks Glen on the radio info. True in the Philips/Simoco
PRM80 radios, there's a balance pot, Ref Xtal and PLL VCO.

Possible repeater here, a Tait T800 2m, ready to go.
