IRLP boxes can do this also and the scripts would be really easy to 
modify to provide a full-time point-to-point link.  

(I don't think anyone's ever published the modifications necessary for a 
full-time link, but the code is there to see, and modify - unlike 
EchoLink.  Many folks do run semi-permanent links with the notimeout 
option set and they stay connected for days and days and days and 
others have timed scripts that run to reconnect them to other nodes if 
their system sits idle for a certain period of time.  It's amazingly 
flexible if you have some idea of what you're doing.  Most don't.  The 
downside if that your machine will not do the 3AM system software 
update if it's connected at 3AM, so the smarter folks have built 
scripts that tear down the connection after 3AM and force updates.  
It's all pretty simple, really.)

You can also do the automatic redial on a dial-up ISP connection (or 
like I did, back to my house when I needed an IP address 40 miles away 
and leave it up all weekend for a demo -- I just set up my own little 
dial up ISP in the basement on the second phone line for the weekend 
on the other Linux box.  Could'a done it with Winderz also with their 
Dial-Up server stuff... all real easy to do.  Hooked a small UHF 
repeater to an old clunker Pentum-I in my hotel room and had a linked 
repeater for the IRLP talk/demo at the Rocky Mtn. ARRL Convention last 
summer.  Worked fine, looked at the logs later and found that the modem 
line had dropped three times, it had dialed itself back up and kept 
right on running.

Although, I disagree with Coy only on one item -- I don't think either 
EchoLink or IRLP will be REAL happy on all but the very fastest of 
486's.  (DX2/66)  

It'd be better to grab a $15 Pentium-I or a $35 Pentium-II machine from 
a used computer shop.  I've had one of those running now with IRLP for 
two years, only reboots have been power outages ('cause I'm too cheap 
to put a second UPS out where that box is - my garage).

Re: [Repeater-Builder] IRLP TYPE BOARD LOOKING

2003-12-18 Thread Steven Passmore
You might look into the commercial implementation of IRLP.
http://www.irlp.net/introduction.html It's point to point, IP based and uses
embedded hardware instead of standard PC's.   All of these systems including
the NXU-2 boxes you mentioned contain a computer of some sort.

I would stay away from the 486/echolink proposal though,  way too much
administration,  how would you like to reboot your link everytime microsoft
releases a patch.

 This may sound crazy to some but because I'm involved a lot in
 linking radio systems and always looking at other ways of doing
 things I've recently began searching to see if anyone knows of or has
 a device that hangs off of a network type connection (10base-T,
 cable modem, DSL) and provides all the signaling needed for a
 repeater or link radio (ptt, COR, TX/RX Audio, etc.)

 I know JPS makes the NXU-2 boxes, which are IP based and when
 configured properly will find each other over the Internet and
 maintain and open channel but they cost about $1,500 per or
 $3,000.00 for a pair not CHEEP!

 Yes I know about IRLP, Echolink, and some others but what I'm looking
 for is a board/box like the NXU-2's that could plug into lets say a
 802.11b box ether 10base-t or USB and create a stand alone network to
 tie these devices together that doesn't require a computer or
 spending $3,000.00 dollars.

 Any idea's or vendor information please pass it along.

 73's and await the flood of information. .

It takes the same cable as the other Kenwood

Cables are available on e-bay for about $30, more or
less.

 can pass it reliably enough.  I have a couple of off brand boxes like the
 multitechs that were $150 each.  Net2Phone has a 2 port unit that would 
 require an account with them but, it would not cost to call from unit to 
 unit.  It is $200 ea. here. 

Pretty similar to a Cisco ata186. Our club is trying to link a couple of 
repeaters using Cisco ata186's. Not sure how progess is going with it. The 
difficulty I see is passing PTT/COS over a plain voice connection and 
having the VoIP hardware automatically connect and reconnect without user 
intervention.

Multi tech makes a VOIP product that may work for you.
It is designed to work with telephone equipment, and
the boxes bigger than 2 ports have EM signalling,
which could tie directly to the radio equipment to
provide PTT and COR signalling. Here is a link to one
vendor, a lot of companies sell their products.

http://www.wireless-computer-networking.com/store/PPF/parameters/240_106/more_info.asp

Its about half price of the other units you mentioned,
but still pretty pricy. If their single port box had
EM signalling, it could be used, but it only supports
POTS type operation.

[Repeater-Builder] UHF Duplexer required x 2 also a 2nd hand Doug Hall Radio voter

2003-12-18 Thread Kevin Natalia Mitchell
Hi All,

Does anyone have a couple of UHF (suitable for 430Mhz) duplexers surplus to
requirements, and are willing to sell??
These are for a full duplex link at 9Mhz spacing on RX/TX
Please bare in mind the cost for postage as I will require them to be mailed
to New Zealand.


Also I am looking for a Doug Hall radio voter (4 ch). 2nd hand would be
okay.

Any information, and pricing please e-mail me directly to keep the group
free.

[Repeater-Builder] Link Receivers and LDG RVS-8

2003-12-18 Thread bbedoe




Hi Everybody!

I have a couple of our Club members that want to experiment with some linking and the RVS-8 voter. They want to play with some cross-banding radios to a few link receivers and then thevoter. After a long discussion I came up with a few questions that I want to ask the group:

1. Are there any group of radios that make better link receivers than others? There are lots of surplus rock bound UHF Moto radios out here, (Moxy, Maxar, Flexar) For those of you that have played with these, any pro's and con's? Conversion? COR? PL decode, stripping PL and encoding? Cystal/Channel Element cost? Flat Audio? Interfacing with voters?

2. I've converted my fair share of Micor's and Mastr II's over the years. Is there any benefit in using these radios over those other radios or would I be better off playing with say, some Spectra Tac receivers?

The last thing I want to do is reinvent the wheel! The group's expertise is a good thing! I personally like a stand alone repeater, but the guys want to experiment, so I want to point them in the right direction, so any thoughts would be great!

Happy Holidays!
73, Brian, WD9HSY
