[arm-allstar] cdm1250 and hamvoip question

[Jed Barton]

Hey guys,

Well, we're running it at low power, whatever the lowest power it'll
go, i think it's 18 or so watts.
We of course have a fan on it.
We're doing some more investigating and we think it may be a radio
problem.  This radio has given us a bit of a tough time from the
beginning.  We put in another 1 we had and so far so good.
I'll keep you all posted.

Cheers,

Jed
