I have thought Asterisk would make a fine system to do a multi-receive
setup... I haven't tried it yet - I realize it would probably work
quite well as described here; but how much additional work would it
take to use this as "a voter" system, where the transmitter site(s)
evaluate the quality of each received signal when multiple receivers
are able to hear a station and gate between them ?? <br>
<br>
Furthermore, what sort of latency issues would creep up in the "gated"
audio stream between receive sites - where one site might be 30-60ms
(or more) "delayed" on the network and all of the various buffers ??<br>

best thing to do is to look at (architecture-wise) the second receive
site as if it were a normal repeater (just missing the transmitter).<br>
The controller (computer running the Allstar node) doesnt know the
difference (it just *assumes* that you have the tx audio and PTT hooked-<br>
up to a transmitter,so dont tell it otherwise ;-) ). So, you can cause
the two systems (or any 2 Allstar nodes, for that matter) to be "perma-<br>
linked" by having one of the nodes have a startup_macro that invokes a
DTMF command to perma-link (ilink 13) it to the other node.<br>
They will stay linked as long as there is Internet connectivity between
them, and if its lost, will re-establish the connection once its
restored<br>
(no matter how long that might be).<br>

I have a split site repeater, currently 2 receive sites and one
transmit site. I would like to place a computer at each site and use
these to permanently link the sites.
<div>Could someone here please help me get started with a link from
one receive site to the transmit site. I will save the second receive
site till sometime in the distant future.</div>
<div>It seems like this can work but so far I have not been able to
find anything that tells how to do it. Is there a how-to somewhere for
this type of thing?</div>
