[arm-allstar] Theorhetical node limit

[Mike Sullivan]

The radios was what I meant, not actual nodes, I don't know what I was
thinking when I wrote it. My goal was to have two interfaces (radios) per
Pi, one for the repeater and one for an auxiliary link, if that site needs
it, to another repeater/system.
