[arm-allstar] Allstar System Update

[Dan Friedmann]

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the input. I originally built the system around a butchered Baofeng 888 and USB sound FOB, but have since graduated to using a URI and a modified TYT mobile rig. I originally burned the image to the card from the hamvoip site and have in the past updated it a couple of times. I am currently using a class 10, 16Gb microSD from Micro Center. I have an older backup image and a SanDisk Ultra 64Gb microSD card; perhaps I will flash it and try and rebuild my work since the image. Bummer.

Dan.
