<div>Both are done. I’ve had both at the house, just depends on how much effort
you want to put into it. Right now, as there is nobody local I need to
communicate with it runs as a simplex node, though on a repeater pair, listens
446.xxx and transmits 441.xxx. Probably confusing to anyone listening to it, but
not an issue. I usually have a connection to a couple of repeaters in another
state. But at another home I have a true simplex node on 446.000. When I get a
wide area system back up it won’t be simplex. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also have my node function with telemetry tones and hang time. So I know
when I’m connected and when I’m disconnects. </div>

<div>Now full duplex is neat. I used to have a duplex Micor in my car back in
the 70’s. Very slick. </div>

excuse my ignorance on this. But one of the advantages of Allstar over say IRLP
is the ability to operate full-duplex. My understanding on this is limited. But
apparently full-duplex is not possible without setting up a repeater.
<div> </div>
<div>Since many folks seem to setup nodes in their residences... is it common
for them to have repeater setups that allow them full-duplex operation at home?
Is there a relatively cheap/easy way to do this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any tips are very appreciated.
