[arm-allstar] Programming Motorola Radios on a hamvoip installation

[Doug Crompton]

Tom,

 The article does not hold your hand so to speak on how to actually program
the radio. The Motorola programs are there and it is up to the user to run
them and program the radio. When dosbox is run the directory with the
software comes up in Norton Commander.
