[App_rpt-users] Building a simulcast system

[Buddy Brannan]

All or nothing isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as Asterisk makes a very competent repeater controller all by itself.

The voter sends the RX signals to the host computer where the best one is selected and sent to the transmitters. Obviously you can't have a repeat path thru your controller and do any voting. Next reason is the RTCMs need unsquelched discriminator audio.

I want each repeater (MSF 5000) to first have an Arcom RC-210 to which the Allstar interface is applied to port 1 or even the auxiliary port. The RC-210 has many valuable features and is generally feature-rich. I am old that this cannot be done especially when simulcasting; could someone explain why not so that my mind will drop it? Thank you. We primarily want the RC-210 so that we may RF link each site. In the event of an earthquake down goes all links.
