<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">We
have been running two separate test projects with the module over the last few
weeks. So far they seem very functional and cut down on node management
if your goal is “perma-link” nodes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The
first project is to take separate sites and merge them into one frequency (and
one big node). At this point we have two of the eight cut over and we
have worked out the basic mechanics. We use Micor receivers and MSX100
transmitters (that may change). The transmitters are frequency locked
using MSF5000 UHSO units with the reference source being a GPS’s 10Mhz
output. The UHSO creates 14.4Mhz that is fed into the MCX units.
In our testing it became very clear that all of the radios need to be
identical.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The
voting is very cool, you can watch as is switches between the receive sites
(very quickly, multiple times in a 1 second period) and the toggling goes
unnoticed on the repeater’s output. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Our
next phase is to create larger overlapping coverage area to see how it sounds
mixed by adding a third site in the middle of the current two. At this
point we don’t have much simulcast data, the overlap area is quite
small.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The
other project is an upgrade to my portable Beagleboard node that I use
traveling. The old version was an Astro portable driven by a LOX
board. The Beagle had a USB WiFi to a Verizon hot spot box. The
upgrade swaps out the beagle for a RTCM and makes the connection from the road
automatic. To create the internet for the module the old USB wifi was
switched out for a Ubiquiti PicoStation set up as a bridge. When
there is cell coverage it works and when there is no cell coverage it’s dead,
simple, easy, no-dialing. The first road test was today, all went well
other than some LTE Verizon problems.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Yeah, that's the
general idea. The location of the Linux server running app_rpt/Asterisk can
be<BR>more or less anywhere within Internet connectivity of all of the
receiver and/or transmitter sites.<BR>Of course, "Internet" can mean either
some sort of public Internet connection, or a privately-provided<BR>Internet
connection (low-cost microwave link(s), etc).<BR><BR>The only limitation is
that an RTCM/Voter module *must* be located on the same LAN as the
Linux<BR>server, to at least provide a GPS-based timing reference. A system
could be set up with a server<BR>located in some sort of datacenter "on the
ground", and all the radios could have an RTCM "on the<BR>hill" with them,
and as long as there is Internet connectivity of some sort between each of
them<BR>and the server, the system will work nicely. That is providing that
there is an RTCM located at<BR>the server location also (whether or not that
particular RTCM has radio hardware connected to it<BR>or not).<BR><BR>One
minimal Linux server can easily support 1 or 2 dozen RTCM's (on 1 or 2
allstar nodes),<BR>and a larger server could easily support MANY dozens of
them on dozens of allstar nodes.<BR>Of course, you REALLY dont want to put
too many of them on a single server, being a potential<BR>single point of
failure. For pretty much any practical purpose, the reasonable limitation
is<BR>the point of failure/redundancy issue, not technical
limitations.<BR><BR>I'm not sure if you were clear on this, so I thought I
would mention that the RTCM is not just<BR>usable as a GPS-timing-based
Multi-Receiver Voting system and/or a Simulcast Transmitter system.<BR>It
can also be used as a "generic" radio interface for a conventional
(non-GPS-based) either simplex<BR>or full duplex (repeater) radio. The
advantage of doing this would be to not have the Linux<BR>host "on the hill"
with the radio (as mentioned above). In addition, the RTCM allows for
<BR>portable/mobile operation with a mobile/portable Internet connection in
both the GPS-based<BR>and non-GPS-based environments. <BR><BR>JIM
