<div dir="ltr">Has anybody heard of DireWolf, the sound card AFSK packet linux software? I like it because there is a config file for PTT, so you can set it to anything, a GPIO pin on a raspberry pi, a CM108 pin 13 using hamlib and rigctld, and much more. It works with any sound card. It would be nice if AllStar was like that.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 6:40 PM, David McGough <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kb4fxc@inttek.net" target="_blank">kb4fxc@inttek.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

The CM108/CM119 is nowhere near dead! Even if CM stops manufacture, there<br>
will be decent "clones" of it for years to come. No worries about that!<br>

If you're needing some FOBs, I understand the shipping issues you've got,<br>
being in NZ. I just checked the US Postal Service shipping site and a<br>
"First Class Mail International Large Envelope" is under $20USD for 2<br>
lbs., shipped from the USA to NZ. Priority mail, where you could ship a<br>
small box in under a week, starts at about $64USD. See:<br>

Why not just work a "bulk quantity" deal with Kevin or Scott to sell you<br>
and ship you a hand full of their RIM-lite adapters??? Then, you'll in<br>
good shape for now.<br>
