Sure would be great... you working on it ?

You have plenty of i/o options with a parallel port. Built-in to app_rpt as one of it's standards. Been there a very long time. Changed a little bit about 10 years ago.

And you can test logic outputs via commands. No need to re-invent the wheel for little benefit.

if you want  those avenues on the small, low power and cheap,

I would suggest as I did before in this mail list over 4 years ago when everyone was headed to the Pi and BBB and give a Intel board a try.

D2700MUD mini-itx  Intel ATOM

fanless 2.13mhz up to 4gb ram and has parallel port that can make all your cos/ptt for 4 nodes, no problem without hacking your usb dongle.

Simply use the parallel port for all your switching logic (needs buffered).  I put the needed pp info in the wiki but it may need some additional to be complete. Enough there to make it work. You have 4 inputs and 8 outputs as declared in app_rpt.

find a used one on ebay... this one $25 add a 12v itx power supply if you need that. You will need to buy ram.

Been using them for many years. Going to make my 5yr old spare a radioless mobile with a touch screen after failing to cram all the junk I wish to use into a pi. Just have not got around to it yet. Wrong time of year to get started on it as well. Going to control things in and on the car as well. Perhaps when I am seeking air conditioning.... LOL

If that can't solve your i/o issues, you are going to have to go out on your own or hope/wait till someone else does. But this changes often enough that I don't like to sink that much time into it anymore. Only for what I want to do. The next unknown changes can make all of your work wasted or a constant battle to re-work.

Would be great if there was a standard  virtual device that could be connected to different physical radio interfaces.

/dev/radio0/ptt
/dev/radio0/cos
/dev/radio0/ctcss
& other signals 

Then anyone building software could support /dev/radio and it would provide audio in/out and various signals

Testing would be simplified too, could just cat /dev/radio0/cos to check for signal or echo 1 > /dev/radio0/ptt.

Steve that looks like exactly what I was fishing for. But how to
integrate? I can easily drop the source file into the channels/
directory and compile but how to make them and use them. I saw the
Aussie web site this may have come from but cannot download from them
(non-VK callsign).
