There has been much progress made on the VOIP VOTER project<br>(https://allstarlink.org/voter.html).<br><br>The test/demo system is now in place in Madera County, CA and<br>can be watched/listened to by going to the following URL:<br><br>https://allstarlink.org/votermon<br><br>This page includes a JAVA applet that, in real-time, shows<br>the signal strengths of all the receivers in the system, along<br>with which one is selected by the voting logic, and also <br>plays the audio from the selected channel.<br><br>It's great to watch the signal strengths change as various<br>mobile and portable stations move around.<br><br>The technology, as a whole is mostly fully implemented.<br>with a few final issues to still address. Even in its present<br>condition, you will see that it performs quite nicely.<br><br>The biggest thing missing currently is documentation<br>(gosh, it's just my FAVORITE thing to do... not!), and <br>will be addressed shortly. I swear... it really will. :-)<br><br>User-constructable boards will be available soon in <br>somewhat reasonable quantity (blank boards will<br>be available for $25 each). In addition, there is progress<br>being made towards a commercially-available version<br>of the board design pre-built and tested (with surface-<br>mount parts).<br><br>Check it out. Its definitely worth seeing.<br><br>JIM WB6NIL<br><br> </body>
