[arm-allstar] Node in Cloud

Fri Jun 14 03:30:50 EDT 2019

First, thank you so much Doug for all that you do and the massive amount
you have done. I am always astounded at the level of support you deliver to
this community, all with no salary.

The node in cloud discussion took a slight turn for me as well when the
concept of PC vs. RPi came up. But it did remind me that you had once
posted that a goal was to eventually have a PC based transceiver package.
Is the goal to maintain 100% of the focus on the Pi now? If so that is
certainly acceptable as it is very affordable and reliable (my god I didn't
realize it could handle 70!!).

I only ask about the PC concept because I am toying with the idea building
a couple more nodes, to include the digital modes via the AMBE3000 built
atop a LattePanda with some e-ink displays and that would be incredible to
have Allstar running on the Windows side of that SBC.

Thanks again for everything,
Jae KG5EBI
