[App_rpt-users] DMK URI and Baofeng Radios

[Buddy Brannan]

Well…the Maxtrak isn’t very portable. I think that’s the main idea here, or anyway, it would be for my proposes.

I plan to interface this to the node with a DMK Engineering URI (http://dmkeng.com/URI_Order_Page.htm) I have yet to order.  Does anyone here have experience with interfacing Baofeng HTs to the DMK URI and have any tips on how to secure the connection and anything else I should know?  I am also interested in Echolink so a product that would be compatible with Echolink would be my best choice.

I have looked into Advanced Repeater Systems’ products as well (http://arsrepeaters.com/USB_AllStar_Adapters.php) and they look excellent, however, I would prefer the versatility of something like the URI for when I upgrade the radio on the node.  It looks like the ARS product only interfaces to a certain radio but the URI will interface to anything (give you know the pinouts on your radio, etc).
