<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>I
have searched high and low and yet haven't found much good information for what
I'm about to ask. I hope this mail list might help with that.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>I'm
about to dive into AllStar and all</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span
style='font-family:Calibri'>its associated parts. BUT, I'd like to know</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>if what</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>I'm</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>thinking</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>makes sense, and that there
isn't a more preferred way of doing it?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>I
have a wide area coverage (for <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Atlanta</st1:place></st1:City>
anyway) 440 ham repeater, it's currently a Master II converted. I'm about
to replace it with an NXDN Icom 440 repeater (digital, but it will continue to
run in mixed mode as well). I'd like to be able to connect it to AllStar,
or other VOIP services (yes, like IRLP, maybe Echo, and</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>who knows maybe someday D-Star).</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Now
don't get all excited, I'm not about to think that I can do that *digitally*.</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'> All audio will be analog either
decoded or about to be encoded.</span></font> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Secondly,
I'd like to *remote* all the services to my house and host them from there,
instead of at the repeater site. It does have internet, but it's remote,
not readily</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>accessible,
etc.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>So,
is the following feasible, desired, are the better ways to do what I'm
thinking?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>a)
take the analog audio input/output at the repeater and put it into either a URI
with a fanless PC install of AllStar, or a PicoNode with Pickle and LOX.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>b)
put the other services (ala, IRLP, Echo, etc) at my house with a dedicated PC
setup with URI's and another install of AllStar (ok, Asterisk and it's</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>associated radio parts)</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>c)
connect all that together with IP and the appropriate setups to allow links to
be created, torn down.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>NOTE:
I didn't say anything about any form of *external controller*, other than the
Unix boxes and their AllStar installs. I’m hoping I won't need one
and will just use the NXDN repeater and</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span
style='font-family:Calibri'>its internal controller for what is needed at the
repeater.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>If
I did the above, what issues will occur when you link the repeater to oh say
IRLP via an IP connection between two AllStar nodes? Will there be any
issues with DTMF, tail crashes, courtesy tones, etc. Either not being
there or being there when they shouldn't be?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Lastly
is it possible to add a simplex radio to the home node such that it will
connect me to the repeater, or other services (again over and IP link)?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Sheesh,
I get confused just trying to explain this…. I've looked all over to try
and find some similar examples of this, I'm sure they exist, but it appears
that either I'm not entering the right Google search phrases or they aren't too
well documented.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Any
help, advice, steering, etc welcome…</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Thanks,</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
