[arm-allstar] Flashing green LED

[Larry]

Thanks David,

I do understand the LED purpose just was hoping there was some internal 
value that might be tweaked to make the LED flash slower.
I have remoted the LED showing through a Box containing the Sound FOB 
and a Mic connector for a Radioless node. Believe I will add some 
resistance to turn the brightness down maybe that will tame the 
irritation of the flash rate a bit.

And thanks to You and Doug for the improvements.

Oh YES... The blue wire works oh so nice!
