[arm-allstar] Rpi 3B Lockup Problem

[Jeffrey Lehman, KC8QCH]

HI Doug,

     All that makes perfect sense. That was kind of my guess/second 
suspicion. I will try all of that as soon as I can. Unfortunately I 
don't have another 3B laying around, but I have plenty of ZeroW's. So I 
can at least change power source and cards. I have a couple San disk 
Ultras I can use.

     Thanks for those suggestions! I appreciate it!

       Jeff, KC8QCH
