[App_rpt-users] Basic Allstar repeater question

[Doug Crompton]

Steve,

 A hub is just a word we give to a node that has two or more nodes connected to it. Kind of a central connecting place. Other than that is has no real meaning in how things work. A hub could be a computer stashed somewhere with good Internet bandwidth if you intend to connect many other nodes to it. It does not need to have a radio connected to it but if you need to it could. You can be creative in how you connect things but anything that is connected together shares audio in both directions. In the case you mention you are correct in that all of you would hear and be able to talk to each other assuming you were in transceive mode (*3 connect) which is the most usual way. I suppose in the simplest definition of a hub, in your case you are the hub! Think of it as the hub of a wheel with spokes. Each spoke is a connection to another node. It gets more complicated than that though as each node you connect to could also be connected to multiple nodes. There is protection for loops. If you connect to somneone who in turn connects to someone else and that last person tries to connect back to you it will be rejected. 
I hope that answers your question.

Subject: [App_rpt-users] Basic Allstar repeater question

I have a simple (hopefully) question - if I link my node with 2 other nodes does it become a hub between the two or does the traffic from my node go out to the 2 other nodes and the traffic from those individual nodes come back to my node? If this is configurable behavior (to hub or not to hub) please do explain.
Thanks
