[App_rpt-users] Building a simulcast system

[Bob - AF6D]

I am blessed with running my own hosting business and own my data center. At
home I have business class service. I have 50 down and 5 up. I think that
easily covers the voice portion. I have KVM over IP and Remote APC reboot –
or I can run it here just as easily as my data center.

1.     Which version of the software is best for simulcast?

2.     How about the hardware? By default I would use a Pentium 4 3GHz with
4GHz of RAM a Dell GX series desktop.

3.     Should I run a SSD drive for boot-up or would a Western Digital RE4
(server class) work ok across the board?

3.     Besides simulcast for 3 nodes I’d like to share what we have as a
conference node (???). Do I have enough horsepower? I have 50 down and 5 up.

4.     I'd like a private server and a public server on one PC.

I would be tremendously grateful to anyone that answers these entry level
questions. I don't want to make mistakes from the beginning.

Humbly Yours,
AF6D

I think that I just need to get my feet wet. A RTCM and a GPS module? Is
there a recommended source on the GPS option?

If you mean have the Arcom wired to the repeater TX for weather alerts, no.
You are building a simulcast system and you wouldn't want just one of the
transmitters coming on independent of the other transmitters.
 
You could make the Arcom (wired to the WX RX) a separate node and link it to
your simulcast node. But what's the Arcom bring to the table? Why not just
connect the WX RX to a URI or RTCM?

Is it possible to setup a remote base connected to an Arcom and TX the WX
receiver through?
