[App_rpt-users] DMK URI and Baofeng Radios

[Scott Zimmerman]

Adam,

Here is my offering for a USB sound adapter:
http://www.repeater-builder.com/products/usb-rim.html

While the adapters you mention are fine in their own rights, I felt they fell short on a few 
"features" so I added those 'extras' and rolled my own interface.

The RIM is probably overkill for interfacing an HT, but since you mentioned you are planning a move 
to a different radio, the features of the RIM may come in handy.
