[Allstar Digital] New USB Sound Interfaces from Repeater-Builder - Hamvention announcement

[Scott Zimmerman]

Folks,

For the past few months I have been hard at work designing products that will hopefully make 
everyone's dreams come true. (Or at least separate them from their cash. HIHI)

RIM-Lite: $50
This is a streamlined version for folks that don't require all of the features that the "full-blown" 
RIM has to offer.

* Instead of two channels of low-pass filtering, the RIM lite only has one. Typically only one 
channel of filtering is needed since there is only ONE modulator in a given radio.
* The charge pump and additional amplification stages have been removed to reduce cost. This module 
still makes over 1Vp-p of audio for driving modulator circuitry.
* The buffering of the COS and CTCSS inputs has been reduced to a simple diode. Again reducing 
circuitry that is not often used.
* The DB-25 connector has been replaced with a DE-9. This simplifies connectons and reduces product 
size. However, This means that the additional I/O pins are not brought to the outside world.

RIM-SCOM 7330: $50
This version is customized to be plug-and-play with the SCOM 7330 repeater controller. Simply plug 
the module onto an unused controller port, configure the controller and AllSatar config files, and 
you are ready to explore the world of AllStar linking.

RIM-Maxtrac: $50
This version is customized to be plug-and-play with the Motorola Maxtrac/Radius/GM300/CM200 series 
of under dash mobile radios. This module will work with any of the Motorola radios with the 
16/20dual row option connector. Simply plug the module onto the radio, connect to a PC running 
AllStar and you're up and running. Radio channel steering is also implemented for those radios that 
are capable of it through their option connector.

RIM-Maxtrac-RM: $60
This is a version similar to the Rim-Maxtrac. The RM stands for Repeater Maker. The RM adds a second 
16 pin module to connect to a second receive only radio. This allows for one radio to be the 
receiver and the other to be the transmitter in a repeater type setup. The RM version does NOT 
support channel steering.
