<DIV>Great answer, Jeff! We KNOW that the MSF is designed for a 2nd receiver
tray and it would be nice if we had some direction. At least a schematic on that
sub-section. Nope. “It won’t work. Don’t waste your time... (or ours by asking.)
Thank you for your reply.</DIV>

<DIV>There is another say that we can go. We can use a RC-210 controller or even
a Zetron 38, a RC-100 – any number of external hardware controllers. But then
how will Allstar like this? With the RC210 we can put the repeater on port 1,
the receiver on port 2, and the RTCM on port 3 and then tell them all to talk to
one another? We even have some Vertex VX-4100’s that have 20 KHz channel spacing
and similar spec’s as the CDM750. Wouldn’t it be great to just solve the problem
rather than adding more hardware complexity?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It seems that Allstar is the solution as long as we can speed up the audio
delay. But then again if we vote will it matter? I mean , won’t they all have
some delay caused by the internet itself? Our biggest concern is with the
“primary” receiver going out to the internet and then back just for the repeater
to TX. What if the internet goes down? So then would our repeater. Our site
vendor has 25 sites connected over 5.8 GHz and if we used a VPN this wouldn't be
an issue. But we have receivers that will be remoted and this will require
internet rather than a VPN right?</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I'll leave part 2 to one of the experts but as for part 1
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The CDM makes a great receiver. Though it's less desirable to me than
an MTR2000 those just aren't in the budget. Its certainly easier to
interface to than the MASTR III's that I have on the bench now. It is a
mobile radio but in my installation I have 12 commercial UHF DMR MTR3000's all
running nearly 100 watts at the same site as my UHF receiver and they're only
separated horizontally and not vertically. My CDM receiver also has a
preamp and I've had almost no trouble. I did have a mixing product but
only when a 2 meter remote base transmitted on 144.890. I'll add I have a
pretty crappy duplexer on this but it is BP/BR and also has a pre-selector
between the preamp and the receiver. Still, they seem to have a "decent"
front end for a mobile radio. </DIV>

<DIV>We have learned the hard way that our Motorola MSF 5000 repeaters with 30
KHz channel spacing and a 2 MHz wide front-end just cannot handle southern
California’s 15 KHz channel spacing. We’ve tried using the 15 KHz replacement
crystals with miserable results. We have not located 20 KHz crystals and even
if we could we don't know what circuit changes would be necessary to tailor
the audio response. We have asked on a site how to interface a Motorola CDM
750 mobile transceiver with 20 KHz channel spacing and instead of an answer
we’re told it won’t work. It’s a mobile. Don’t waste your time. Well, its our
time to experiment. I know of several popular repeaters here on SoCal built
using the CDM 750 / 1250.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>OK. About Allstar. It seems if we can’t get an answer about directly
interfacing a second receiver to a MSF 5000 that is designed for a second
receiver we need to look at how Allstar can allow us to use an external
receiver. Besides the obvious of a USB or RTCM is there any way to create like
a LOCALHOST situation at the repeater site where we can almost eliminate any
audio delay? We know that, and plan to use, off-site voting to cover our
rather large footprint. That will have to be on an external Internet IP rather
than an internal IP (192.168.x.x). Can we have both? An internal network and
an external network? Or do we have to use one network especially if we plan on
doing voting?</DIV>
