I'm using an old Motorola R100 repeater.  It's got the DCS option that can not be turned off.  I'm running it on  a Pi3B, and usbradio and full duplex with no issues, and fixing to add a 2m node to it, on simplex, with the antenna on top of the db-413 who's base is at 50'.

It is the setup I had at my previous residence sans the rpi3b.

Gonna be interesting.

Keith,

I've run usbradio on many Raspberry Pi 3's without issue.  The 3B+ works
fine with 2 nodes on usbradio, but I don't really recommend it.   I also
don't recommend a CM119B based radio adapter for usbradio deployments
for several reasons.
