[OZAPRS] IO PCB audio pTT etc

[Matthew Cook]

Glen,

I'd also suggest the following;

   - pull the TX/RX of the FT230 into a RS232 driver to allow radio control
   - Have some form of H/W monostable watchdog for the Pi (mostly likely
   dump power)
   - It would also be a good idea to have some form of UPS function where
   it shutsdown the Pi or disables the radio (relay?) when the supply volts
   are 10.5V or less (programmable ?)
