[Repeater-Builder] Split site link via IP
My repeater group is considering building split-site 6m machine. As an inter-site link, I was thinking of using some sort of VOIP arrangement via the internet. I'm curious if anyone has tried something like this: My idea is to use a point-to-point, private link (i.e. not IRLP or Echo) to pump audio and maybe even some signaling between sites. The receive site would consist of the receive radio, controller (most likely an Arcom), and a PC to do the encoding/streaming. The transmit site would consist of a PC to decode the audio stream, a PL decoder for TX logic, and the TX radio. The basic premise would be to take audio from the RX (PL filtered), fed thru the controller, mixed with link PL, and fed to the PC's audio input. The PC then streams the audio over the internet to the RX site PC, where it is decoded and fed to the TX radio, which will be keyed by a PL decoder (provided the IP encode/decode process hasn't mangled the PL). Whew... Now, question is: will it work? Or more properly, has anyone made this work? I'm going to try it on a small scale just to prove concept, but I'm curious if anyone has tried this already. My intention is to use something along the lines of Winamp with Shoutcast or Windows Media Encoder to stream the audio. I'd rather find a Linux-based CLI encoder if such an animal exists. I had thought about using IRLP nodes as endpoints, but IRLP policy would preclude that. Thoughts? Encouragement? FTW is he THINKING?!?! ;) I'd be interested in the group's thoughts, and I'll report the results of my experiments. Thanks 73, Brian, N4BWP
[Repeater-Builder] Low band Maratracs on 10m
I see a lot of discussion about 6m conversions for Maratracs... I'm curious about using the low-split model (RF board HLB4099) on 10m FM. The stated range for these units is 29.7 - 36 MHz roughly. Not a huge stretch down into the 10m repeater band. I have a 10m repeater in the conceptual stages, and I've had good results with Maratracs on high band and 440. I'd really like to use them on this machine too. Any wisdom offered is certainly appreciated. Thanks and 73's de N4BWP Brian

For example 146.52 .55 .58 and several around 147.58 are some of the most common simplex frequencies as per most repeater co-ordinator band plans and are more or less near the middle of the 146 to 148 FCC repeater bandplan. __ __ Be a better Heartthrob.

[Repeater-Builder] [FS] ACC RC-96 Controller for parts or fixup
My repeater group has an ACC RC-96 controller availavble for sale. As far as we can tell, the only problem with it is that it does not properly detect COS from the receiver. Would serve for a parts farm or maybe a fix-er-upper. Make us an offer. Thanks, Brian Poellnitz Heart Of Dixie Communications Partners, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
