<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">
<DIV>Thank you all for some fresh ideas. I too like the hub idea even though it
means a Linux server at the repeater site. The problem with Linux at a repeater
site is power outrages. I work for the hosting company that has allowed me to
place our high powered hub in a rack (dual Intel processors, quad core, 16GB
RAM, RAID [ to be replaced with SSD ]) with a 100MBit pipe. We will be able to
handle a lot of connections. At the repeater site we need to make sure that we
at least have a UPS installed that will give the site owners generator time to
come online. Otherwise Linux sucks when it scrambles. It may take hours to do a
FSCK. That means a trip to the site unless we add a KVM over IP device. $$$ all
the way around.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have three repeater sites. We have three RC-210’s. I propose adding a
RTCM on the 4th port of the RC-210 and then port 1 –> 2m port 2 –> 440
port 3 –> 900.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here’s the price breakdown:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1 PC: $300</DIV>
<DIV>3 URI’s: $297</DIV>
<DIV>1 APC SmartUPS UPS: $500</DIV>
<DIV>1 KVM/IP: $305</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>==>> $1397</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Compared to:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1 Arcom RC-210: $400</DIV>
<DIV>1 RTCM: $269</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>==>> $669</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The difference here besides the price is that each repeater cannot be
individually linked via Allstar. But the RC-210 can allow all three repeaters to
connect to one RTCM. From what Chris Kurtis tells us the RC-210 worked out
fine.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I’d love to read more ideas.</DIV>
