[arm-allstar] Kenwood TM-V71A as a remote base

[Robert Conklin]

Stephen referred to "Remote interface boards", thru which to operate
hamlib. Is this hardware compatible with arm-allstar and Rpi? Am curious to
what sort of hardware is being referred to, can anyone share links to
product manufacturers and topic references? I would like to learn more on
the subject.
