[arm-allstar] link radios for an allstar node

[David McGough]

Rick,

Just configure the IC-FR4000 to use an external controller; so the Icom
effectively becomes a full-duplex base station.  Then, use AllStar as the
external controller. This should work great; AllStar is a very competent
repeater controller.
