[arm-allstar] Node connections question, hoping someone can help

[Dave Petrie]

There is one exception, if a connected node has a private node
with a link radio transceiver and it is programmed to interface with
with an allstar node repeater, then you would get an audio loop.
I know because i helped upgrade some repeaters using Hamvoip
and we added private nodes with a radio to transceiver to the main
hub that had a repeater interfaced and it was only to be used when
the internet and or microwave link to the hub went down, but one
of the guys brought it up and we had a squealing audio loop, but
was easy enough to disconnect again.
Just throwing out what I have experienced.
There is the allowed list and blocked list if you need to prevent a
node from connecting that has a link radio causing a problem, but
you could also do programmed announcements, not to, if it becomes
an issue.
