(<a href="http://www.nmscares.org">www.nmscares.org</a>) I am in the process of redesigning our repeater system to permit linking of our 2 repeater sites. One site is in town with VHF & UHF repeaters & IC-706 remote base. The second site is on a mountaintop at ~9000' with one UHF repeater. Both are line-of-sight. I could use additional UHF XCVRs to link the sites, but I believe that Asterisk with app_rpt is a much better solution.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I just completed my first evaluation of Asterisk using my personal repeater with connectivity provided by AllstarLink. I am pleased with the audio quality and linking capabilities.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>However, for this ARES implementation, I must have the ability to isolate the system from AllstarLink during exercises and activations. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thus, I have to determine if is possible to link nodes without going thru AllstarLink (IP to IP)? If not, is it possible to restrict access on the AllstarLink system?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Secondly, would someone be willing to share module setups (xxx.conf) for a system that uses multiple repeaters and IC-706 remote base?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Here is a simple diagram of the proposed system:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Site 1 Site 2<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(in town) (mountaintop)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>----------- <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'> </span> -------------<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> INTERNET<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Asterisk < - - - - - - -> Asterisk<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>UHF RPTR UHF RPTR<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>VHF RPTR<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rem Base<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>73s<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Gary<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>Gary Bonebrake W5BI<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Emergency Coordinator</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Sandoval County Amateur Radio Emergency Service</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:w5bi@nmscares.org">w5bi@nmscares.org</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
