[arm-allstar] UV-5R Connection Points

[David McGough]

I 2nd the vote for using a BF888! They make an excellent UHF radio to 
dedicate to an AllStar node, or even local-coverage repeater.

radios that work very well. Rather than rip into your uv5r you could get 
an 888 for $17 from Amazon delievered in a few days. On any of these 
radios you have to go inside to get COS so while you are in there you 
mine as well get the other signals also, rather than use the mic 
connector. Taking the audio from the speaker output is not a good idea 
for a number of reasons. The volume control will vary the level, the 
distortion is higher. Leaving everything intact means you could easily 
return the radio to stock. See:

Engineering URI for use with an AllStar node? I want to hook up a UV-5R 
the same as I did on this project. http://w0fcm.com/allstar-portable-node
