[arm-allstar] Motorola as Node Radio

[Ron WA2WWK]

I've used several Maxtracs but they don't like long keydowns.  You should
do the manual power control and possibly remove the final transistor.  I'm
using a 40 watt UHF with a bad final transistor, modified with removal of
final and adjusted to 6 watts.  Covers my area just  fine.
