<body class='hmmessage'><div style="text-align: left;">node 2091 has up and operating for 15 days. So far, so good. Its in a pretty heavy UHF RF environment at a tower<br>site in the middle of a corn field. I will let you know when a year has gone by..

I have the single-radio analog board which connects<br>> to my existing FXS card already but I don't want to put that up on top<br>> of a building in the long run.<br>> <br>> I'm curious if the cheap USB audio adapters (such as the one that<br>> computergeeks sells for something like $8) are a good long-term,<br>> reliable solution. I'm interested to hear from others running<br>> repeaters in good repeater sites that are using the USB ports,<br>> particularly those with repeaters in commercial or high-density sites<br>> where strong RF fields from other transmitters are common.<br>> <br>> The 4-port PCI card is certainly an option but given the price<br>> difference I would really like to make an attempt at the USB interface<br>> first but would like some advice of others on the<br>> stability/reliability of it. It won't be suitable for me if it's at<br>> all problematic as visiting this repeater site is not something I can<br>> do regularly.<br>> <br>> <br>> Thanks<br>> <br>> <br>> Mark Hagler<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> App_rpt mailing list<br>> <a class="linkification-ext" href="mailto:App_rpt@lists.illiana.net" title="Linkification: mailto:App_rpt@lists.illiana.net">App_rpt@lists.illiana.net</a><br>> <a class="linkification-ext" href="http://lists.illiana.net/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt" title="Linkification: http://lists.illiana.net/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt">http://lists.illiana.net/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt</a><br><br /><hr />Need to know the score, the latest news, or you need your HotmailŪ-get your "fix". <a href='http://www.msnmobilefix.com/Default.aspx' target='_new'>Check it out.</a></body>
