[arm-allstar] Motorola as Node Radio

[Patrick Perdue]

The SHARIs are great. I have three of them myself, but having used 
those, a few other configurations and a Motorola Radius, the Motorola, 
with it's baseband audio, just sounds so much better/cleaner, etc.

My Motorola, as well as most of my other possessions, are currently in 
storage, so I'm using portable nodes now. They're fine, as such things 
go, but I'd definitely prefer using the Motorola again.
