[arm-allstar] Cheap BF-888s

[Doug Crompton]

Keep in mind these are no keypad radios so they would generally not be
suitable for Allstar as a radio talking to a node. They do make good node
radios though for local use. They run on nominally 3.7 volts. They also
come with a charger. There is no USB connection. I don't know if the
charger can handle 220V. For node use you would not use the battery or
charger and instead power it from a 5V wall wart with a diode or two in
series. See the howto on the hamvoip.org web page.
