I deal with quite a bit of repeater work for Hams. We have a very
active DMR network in Indiana with dozens of repeaters on the network.
We have learned the repeater folks are being told worst case
scenarios. Our first repeater we put online we were told they needed
a 3megx1meg constant connection. Once it was online and getting
heavily used we are seeing spike of 512k, and this is a repeater that
is very heavily used.
Attached is a usage graph of what is called a Cbridge server. This is
basically a soft switch for these repeaters. This particular server
has a couple dozen very active repeaters talking to it. So this is
real world bandwidth usage with a couple dozen DMR repeaters talking
to a single source.

We do that at a tower for a ham club voice repeater, they never use
much bandwidth, nowhere near 20x20, not even 1M.
They are doing something different, or more likely just don't know
how much they need, or are just asking for the sky because why not?

Subject: [AFMUG] HAMSs and Internet
I think a few of the list members out there are HAMs so I need some
advice please.
I support our local HAM group and have allowed them to place repeaters
on two of my towers
at no charge to their group. Now one of their members has asked for
Internet service at one of the
sites for HAM use. I have heard something about HAMs using the Internet
to "talk" so I guess this is
not unusual.
For me the kicker is that he is asking for 20x20Mbps service...I
certainly have the capacity but
that just seems excessive.
Opinions anyone?
