<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking to set up my first Allstar node and I’m going to use either a Baofeng UV-5R or UV-82 HT for the radio. I plan to interface this to the node with a DMK Engineering URI (<a href="http://dmkeng.com/URI_Order_Page.htm" target="_blank">http://dmkeng.com/URI_Order_Page.htm</a>) I have yet to order. Does anyone here have experience with interfacing Baofeng HTs to the DMK URI and have any tips on how to secure the connection and anything else I should know? I am also interested in Echolink so a product that would be compatible with Echolink would be my best choice.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Any other suggestions for radio interfaces would be welcome as well. I have looked into Advanced Repeater Systems’ products as well (<a href="http://arsrepeaters.com/USB_AllStar_Adapters.php" target="_blank">http://arsrepeaters.com/USB_AllStar_Adapters.php</a>) and they look excellent, however, I would prefer the versatility of something like the URI for when I upgrade the radio on the node. It looks like the ARS product only interfaces to a certain radio but the URI will interface to anything (give you know the pinouts on your radio, etc).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">So all in all, I am getting started and have yet to choose an interface. I have the Baofeng radio chosen as my starter radio, everything else is open to suggestions!<u></u><u></u></p>
