How do you disable monitoring of a specific radio?

Explanation:
The key idea is that monitoring is controlled at the hardware level for each individual radio. The push/pull pin on the CCP for that radio provides a per-radio control to disable the monitoring path. When you pull that pin, the CCP stops routing that radio’s signal to the monitor, effectively silencing only that radio while leaving the others unaffected. This is the intended, quick way to disable monitoring for one radio without altering software settings, removing the radio module, or changing global monitor behavior. Turning the radio off in software would stop all activity from that radio and could affect other functions. Removing the radio module removes the radio entirely rather than just its monitor path. A general monitoring switch on the CCP might affect multiple radios or not offer per-radio control, so it isn’t as precise.
