<html><body style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The short answer to your Baofeng question is but a question itself since I'm not familiar with it...<br><br>If it will work on any repeater, it will work. But one would need to question the stability and sensitivity of those products for use in a repeater.<br><br>As you are new, I thought I might direct you to some terminology so you might ask the right questions the right way to get a accurate answer.<br>And I'm not sure why this is not explained to newbies on any of the websites, perhaps it is and I have not seen it.<br><br>Allstar is a network of repeater systems connected by software called app_prt which is a open source software riding on top of asterisk which is also a open source software of a VOIP telephone PBX.<br><br>All of these software installations ride on top of various versions of the linux operating system.<br><br>It is the app_rpt software that has interface to your radios.<br>When you connect to the network, you are basically making a VOIP call to other stations via the asterisk PBX.<br>So your first start (in my opinion) is to get a working model of the computer with software in operation, then worry about how to interface the radios.<br>You have a lot to learn about this and lucky for you, many have worked hard to make it easier to get it started.<br>But it does require some knowledge and will to do from many areas.<br><br><br>For a install on a RPi, Here is some reading and tutorials<br><br>http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/node/170<br><br>http://www.qsl.net/w2ymm/dial_howto.html<br><br>http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/node/75<br><br>There is always more than one way to skin a cat. Keep that in mind throughout.<br><br>This can be a frustrating adventure depending on your knowledge in computers, the linux OS and radio/repeaters.<br><br>Please know that this project is completed entirely by volunteers who do it for the fun of it, donating hundreds if not thousands of hours to it.<br>And there is always more to be done.<br><br>Perhaps one of the Pi users can chime in with better set of instruction/introductions, I use the ACID version... Good luck<br><br>...mike/kb8jnm<br><br><br><blockquote class="atmailquote"><br>----- Original Message -----<br><div id="origionalMessageFromField" style="width:100%;display:inline;background:rgb(228,228,228);"><div style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">From:</div> "Users of Asterisk app_rpt" <app_rpt-users@lists.allstarlink.org></div><br><div id="origionalMessageToField" style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">To:</div>"app_rpt-users@lists.allstarlink.org" <app_rpt-users@lists.allstarlink.org><br><div id="origionalMessageSentField" style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">Cc:</div><br><div style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">Sent:</div>Sun, 4 Mar 2018 01:33:37 +0000<br><div id="origionalMessageSubjectField" style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">Subject:</div>[App_rpt-users] AllStar interface and +<br><br><br><div id="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-size:12pt;color:#000000;font-family:'Courier New', monospace;" dir="ltr">
