[App_rpt-users] Multiple Repeaters Per Site

[R. Wayne]

But what about using an external controller like a Arcom RC-210?

I don't know if this is any help, but I have two Sound fobs on the same machine, seperate stanzas on rpt.conf and usbradio.conf and selected the USB device in radio-tune-menu and swapped as necessary. That way each node can connect to separate nodes and independently work from each other.

  As we continue to grow we are committed to using Allstar. But we are already at a loss as to how to put multiple repeaters on the air from the same site. Sure, we can use multiple URI’s I think and a single PC. But we prefer RTCM’s and they cost $$$. The real question is the use of external controllers like an Arcom RC-210. They have 3 ports plus a 4th basic port. We have 2m, 440 and 900, plus a WX receiver.  URI’s are cheaper but if we do the PC approach can we declare separate config files/directories, or would we need to install something like OpenVZ and mount each USB device in separate containers? PC’s at remote sites concern me especially without redundant power supplies. A RC-210 would allow the use of only one RTCM and the ports would be linked to through the RC-210. One node number for three repeaters, although that isn’t my preference. How much audio delay could be expected using an external controller?

  Thank you in advance.
