Feature Request- 'Pips' between transmissions

[darksidelemm]

RS41HUP had a useful feature where you could transmit short 'pips' (50ms of carrier) at regular intervals between telemetry transmissions. This acts as a channel marker of sorts, helping listeners tune their receivers in, while not using too much power.

I would suggest adding it in as a 'mode' which the user can include inamongst other transmissions.

e.g.

#define RADIO_POST_TRANSMIT_DELAY_MS 2000

#define RADIO_SI4032_TX_HORUS_V2 true
#define RADIO_SI4032_TX_HORUS_V2_COUNT 1
#define RADIO_SI4032_TX_PIP true
#define RADIO_SI4032_TX_PIP_COUNT 5

Would result in a Horus v2 transmission, then 6 pips every 2 seconds thereafter

:+1: I will be implementing this soon (once I find the time to work on the firmware again :D). Should not be terribly difficult.
