[arm-allstar] Possible alternative to the Raspberry Pi 3?

[larry]

Looking further at their web site --- Links at the very top of their 
page explains that some cooling probably needs to be dealt with.

*It Says   "BEFORE ORDERING* please read this link: keeping your quadra 
cool

and amateur radio operators: potential adapter interference 
<https://forum.inovato.com/post/possible-radio-interference-with-quadra-power-adapters-12495535?pid=1333868530>"

Just pointing to a caution note from here.

Overall it looks like a neat alternative at a great price.
