Repeater checklist

This checklist aims to introduce newcomers to setting up a repeater, while also ensuring good repeater operation through documented settings — in other words, best practice. It has been put together to the best of current knowledge, but makes no claim to completeness. Questions go to the MeshcoreDE Telegram group (see the linked document for contact details).
