I believe Pin 14 on the PL board is the encode disable pin. Simply grounding this pin disables the encoder. You can also find a COS signal at pin 5 of the squelch gate slot. It is active high.
Using two NPN transistors, and a few 10k resistors, you can have the COS drive the first transistor, which will pull it's collector low during rx activity, and turn off the second NPN. When there is no COS activity, the second NPN will be biased on, and it's collector will pull the pin 14 encode disable pin low.
