(xPA) Amp PTT Disable if Power Output goes above a preset value - Located in "OC" setup.[FEATURE] #403

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This is an enhancement request.

Describe the solution you'd like The newer code that allows an "OC" pin for external amplifier PTT, would allow for a max output amp drive setting that would disable the amp PTT. This would be further amp protection from overdrive.

Additional context Maybe, if or when the trip occurs a window appears that instructs the operator to check and reset max drive error.

Interesting idea, but I have much better meters than the anan that are capable of reading real peak power, and can provide a TX power interrupt. Not sure the Thetis meter is "good enough" of catching those sort of peaks.
