[arm-allstar] Monitoring of my system.

[Doug Crompton]

Chris,

 First of all congratulations on all those nodes! Have you tried supermon
or allmon2. Both would show the currently transmitting node. I think one
screen would get very busy for the number of nodes you have though. Based
on the complexity of your system it is a little hard to understand exactly
what you want to do.

I suspect you need to have all or many of those nodes report back to one
location. I would defer to Paul KN2R on this since he authored supermon and
I think he monitors many nodes himself.
