<div dir="ltr">Greetings,<br><br>I am a long-time asterisk user recently "tuned-in" to TIARA (app_rpt).<br>I'm considering acquiring a GMRS license and using this project to repeat handheld traffic to immediate family in a seperate geographical location. I've read up on the USB Sound Card FOB and am curious if anyone has successfully wired-up inexpensive GMRS handhelds to it and could possibly recommend a good model to work with?<br>
<br>Here's the simplex repeater scenario I'm considering:<br>PIII 800 running EasyVoxBox at each location trunked on IAX2, with USB Sound Card FOB wired to a low power (1/2W) GMRS portable. When one location recieves traffic on GMRS channel from portables in range, it's relayed across to the conterpart asterisk and then transmitted from the FOB/portable out to portables near its location.<br>
<br>Question - would CTCSS encoding carry across the link, or do I need to decode and discriminate at each end? <br><br>Any thoughts on this approach - your feedback is truly appreciated!<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>ChadP <br></div>
