I would suspect any radio with a packet jack can be used.

Packet data input is equivalent to raw unprocessed TX audio

PTT is PTT

Ground is Ground

9600 packet data out would be RX discriminator audio

Squelch is COR but not needed.

You will probably need to tailor the audio in Allstar to get the audio sounding right with tx pre-emphasis etc..

Subject: [App_rpt-users] Node radio

Hi,

I’m in the process of setting up an Allstar node using a USB fob and when I get one an ex PMR radio.

At the moment on my Echolink node I’m using a Yaesu FT-8900R radio which works very well. It is OTT though using

a quad band radio as a link radio.

Has anyone any knowledge if these radios can be used as a temporary fix until I can get another radio

The Data jack pin outs are

1 packet data input, both 1200 and 9600 baud

2 signal ground

3 ptt (ground to tx)

4 9600 bps packet data output

5 1200bps packet data output

6 squelch

Cheers
