Greetings, I am a long-time asterisk user recently "tuned-in" to TIARA (app_rpt). I'm considering acquiring a GMRS license and using this project to repeat handheld traffic to immediate family in a seperate geographical location. I've read up on the USB Sound Card FOB and am curious if anyone has successfully wired-up inexpensive GMRS handhelds to it and could possibly recommend a good model to work with? Here's the simplex repeater scenario I'm considering: PIII 800 running EasyVoxBox at each location trunked on IAX2, with USB Sound Card FOB wired to a low power (1/2W) GMRS portable. When one location recieves traffic on GMRS channel from portables in range, it's relayed across to the conterpart asterisk and then transmitted from the FOB/portable out to portables near its location. Question - would CTCSS encoding carry across the link, or do I need to decode and discriminate at each end? Any thoughts on this approach - your feedback is truly appreciated! Cheers, ChadP
