[App_rpt-users] Private nodes

[kk6ecm]

Very good. What about linking the two nodes, and operations "independent" from each other with the RTCM on a private node vs Allstar node?

Thanks,

RTCM are permanently connected to their host through chan_voter and configured in voter.conf. The node number of an RTCM is configured in rpt.conf and connected to the RTCM via the rxchannel= statement.

Repeater B uses an RLC-4, which I'm considering replacing with an RTCM, and an IP based rf link. (The UHF link works fine, when the old radios are functioning.) We do want to disconnect them at times when running two events at once in different geographical areas associated with each VHF repeater, which are separated by mountains. Would it be better to use an Allstar node for repeater B (RTCM) on an IP link, or would a private node serve our purposes? Hence the opening question.
