<div>I have to echo Doug on the sound FOB issue.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have several systems up and running with both fobs and DMK devices have had no issues with drop outs.<br clear="all"></div>
<div>Now all use the same PC hardware, HP D510SFF PCs and the Compaq model under the EVO D510 label in our installations.(mainly cause they were cheap and free.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Both have no issues with motor boating or drops outs both work good last long time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Maybe you have hardware (PC) issues but to say the FOBs or DMK USB devices have issues, is bunk.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just my 2 cents</div>

Or can you somehow get away with a single port FXO or FXS card?</span><u></u><u></u></p></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt">Single port cards are cost comparative to a ready made DRI USB which is --->>>>>*NOT*<<<<<--- production remote repeater site quality/capable and good only for testing experimenting etc.<br>
Even if such a card is TWICE the price of a DMK URI.. This is the way to go for a production system..<br>Which is *ALL* that I would ever run at a site..<br>And home I'll still maybe d*** around with USB interfaces which truly suck with app_rpt in ALL of my testing I've done in 3 years.<br>
<br>Am I clear in this understanding?</span><u></u><u></u></p></div>

<p>I realize newer boards will not have PCI slots.. <br>"USB sucks + is unrealiable"<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>-->as I have been assured both through my own testing and the developers of app_rpt.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>If you tell me you have a perfectly working sytem I'll have you do *my test* sit & listen locally at the system to the TX on continuously with PL encode and you *will* hear the audio pops & interruptions in the trasnmitted audio that I am confident are present in ALL usb installed systems :-).. but has been proven liveable for most.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>If you absolutely have to go with USB for whatever reason beagleboard etc.. small low power controller<br>then it's time for a different controller if you require production/site performance & reliability.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I thought i would get the server set up and then get the USB to radio interface.. what is the best and cheap one to buy. I don't want to roll my own as if everything works out well we will move the unit to the repeater site in the Spring. But for now i was going to put it on a simplex node. I just didn't want to buy the adapter then stuck with it with no way to configure the server.. for the time being i will hook it to the ft2600 yaesu ..<u></u><u></u></p>
