[arm-allstar] AllStar installation on RP3

[Doug Crompton]

Rich,

 On echolink did you look at the howto at hamvoip.org? To use echolink you
need an account. Did you setup the echolink.conf file with your data. Named
echolink.xxx when not used - you must rename.  Also did you do the echolink
port forwarding?  There can be only one echolink instance per public IP
address.
