<DIV dir=ltr>Not at the moment as the firmware currently stands. However,
that's not a bad idea.<BR>It could simply act as a totally "dumb" controller

<DIV dir=ltr>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<SPAN

with a mobile/portable Internet connection in both the GPS-based<BR>and
