[App_rpt-users] Mini ITX board or Beagle board or ?? or ?? for remote repeater sites

[Jim Duuuude]

I guess the question really is: Do your repeater systems provide line-level processed audio
and COR/CTCSS decode themselves.?

The Beagle/LOX board is a *really* great option. It will run 2 full-duplex repeater systems, but only
if they provide their own audio processing.

Overall, if this will work for you, its a much lower-cost, lower-power and reliable way of
doing things, compared to purchase of a new mini-itx system, hard drive (or SSD),
2 URI's etc.

    OK, I admit. Have not spent too much time with Mr Google on this
    one, but here goes hoping for a short-cut answer................

    

    I would like to run each of my seven repeater sites (mains/grid
    powered with 12v standby bat) each with it's own URI and AllStar
    node. Some sites will have two URI's.

    

    Question; 

      What PC should I use at each site (12v PC would be nice, and with
      "auto power on" from dead battery when mains power returns)

    

    I had a look here http://www.mini-itx.com/ but the amount of choice
    is overwhelming. No idea which one is suitable.

    Then there is this thing called a Beagle Board??

    

    

    The processor must be fast enough to handle 2x URI's. I tried using
    a HP netbook and an Asus eeePC  but voice overs were a bit choppy as
    if the processor was battling.

    I do not really want fans, hard drives or any other antiquated
    moving devices (when are we going to see quiet, passive pc's at the
    workplace?)

    I do not need wireless, just an Ethernet port.
