[arm-allstar] RPi3A+ boards in stock

[David McGough]

I think the point many hams miss when using WiFi is that the AP is shared 
between all your WiFi devices on the network. One poorly performing device 
will cripple the network!!!

I use dedicated AP's for the radio gear and almost all are LocoM2
hardware. I even use this combo in sealed metal cabinets, where I'll turn
the WiFi power down to 0dBm (or 10dBm). I've got as many as 5 RPis in/at
some cabinets.  No Ethernet cables, eliminating that path where gear can
get zapped from lightning surges!!!

This works 100%
