[App_rpt-users] AllStar Node / repeater radios

[Jon Rorke]

Tait T800 RF modules are excellent radios for use on Dstar and Allstar 
as they have no DSP audio processing. Flat modulation and discriminator 
are easily available on these units.

Tait probably wont touch anything WB nowadays because of the FCC rules 
mandating narrow banding on VHF and UHF. they simply don't want the 
liability of some customer has an old wide band radio and uses it on 
commercial frequencies.

Even though there is exemptions for part 97 Amateur radio. They just 
don't want the hassle.
