Since, as I say, I'm a minority of 1 on this, I did set my node to just drop me to a bash prompt for configuring and just skip the menus altogether.

>> Just loaded it up (PM-Saturday, 28JAN2017) on a new 32GB SD card on my RPi v3.0Ran the new Install using information I have from my existing RPi-v3.0 Node.Everything worked 100%.  "Out of the Box" (audio levels - 500) worked fine for me too.
>> New Tech Notes not 100% clear for folks "upgrading".  Don't use any old backup files from any existing RPi Node...I ran the install as if I had a "new node" install.  During the Install process...I was asked for my existing Node number and Password (you can find yours - about your existing Node) after logging into  AllStarLink.org and looking at your node information.
>> Also helpful:  Have a copy of your older/original/working  (usbradio.conf) file handy.  You'll be asked several questions during the install ..about your USB Interface, Radio, InvertPTT...and a bunch of other setting questions.  Your original  usbradio.conf  is your guide to answering these install questions correctly to get your Allstar v1.5 node working like your original RPiv3.0 node was working.
>> Nice work Doug and Team.  Am working my way through the new documentation now to add some custom features to my node.
