[arm-allstar] running multiple nodes on a pi

Lu,

I believe this problem was present in all RPi4B hardware revisions before 
1.4.  This issue appeared related to the built-in USB hub hardware and 
would impact other devices as well.  For example, I duplicated the issue 
with 2 USB3-SATA interfaces and 2 USB-serial adapters.  I reported this 
issue in the RPi bugs forums; others duplicated this problem, too.

I duplicated this problem with the "stock" Raspbian release, too. So, it 
was/is a general issue, not something ArchLinux specific.

I was planning on adding another node on my pi4. But it would be a different style usb device. DMK and com spec. Are you implying that if you use two different style devices it will be ok?

Of course, these don’t have many simultaneous connections, as they are just my personal nodes. It used to be, still may be, that you couldn’t run more than one sound fob on a Pi4 with HamVoIP.
