[arm-allstar] Radioless nodes, hoping someone can help

[Patrick Perdue]

I've done all the SIP  phone/DVSwitch/Zoiper softphone stuff. Sometimes, 
it's just nice to have an actual microphone with a PTT. Though I'm 
primarily an iOS guy, I do have a cheap Android phone with DVSwitch 
mobile installed, which I much prefer to using Zoiper when I'm out 
somewhere and don't feel like dragging extra equipment with me, since I 
can use a physical button for PTT. I configured my DVSwitch to use USRP 
instead of IAX2. It uses much less bandwidth and battery life that way, 
since it isn't constantly streaming, even when there is no activity, 
which is what happens with a normal IAX2 connection. Anecdotally, it 
seems less latent as well. It's easiest to use a dedicated node (not 
necessarily dedicated hardware or VPS) with this kind of setup, since 
you have to change the channel driver to make that work.
