Hello,

 

I am looking to set up my first Allstar node and I’m going to use either a Baofeng UV-5R or UV-82 HT for the radio.  I plan to interface this to the node with a DMK Engineering URI (http://dmkeng.com/URI_Order_Page.htm) I have yet to order.  Does anyone here have experience with interfacing Baofeng HTs to the DMK URI and have any tips on how to secure the connection and anything else I should know?  I am also interested in Echolink so a product that would be compatible with Echolink would be my best choice.

 

Any other suggestions for radio interfaces would be welcome as well.  I have looked into Advanced Repeater Systems’ products as well (http://arsrepeaters.com/USB_AllStar_Adapters.php) and they look excellent, however, I would prefer the versatility of something like the URI for when I upgrade the radio on the node.  It looks like the ARS product only interfaces to a certain radio but the URI will interface to anything (give you know the pinouts on your radio, etc).

 

So all in all, I am getting started and have yet to choose an interface.  I have the Baofeng radio chosen as my starter radio, everything else is open to suggestions!

 

Thanks
