All opinions aside, YOU have to be comfortable with the operation of a radio system that YOU have responsibility for.
If it involves the use of an external controller, then that's exactly what you should do. App_rpt/Allstar fully supports such use in
several different ways, and we certainly encourage people to implement their systems in this manner if they see fit to do so.

Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Using an external Controller

Bob,

I still use my RC210s at all my sites.  I have a lot of confidence in AllStar running a repeater but the controller is one thing I have a hard time letting go.  I deal a bunch with PCs and no matter what OS you are using, they will lock up eventually because of hardware, heat, etc.  I had a site that had a good PC, but every once and a while, the machine would lock up or do something and allstar would halt.  Couldn't even remote in.  So, I had to go to the site and reboot just to get the machine back on the air.  After the third time, I reinstalled the controller.  Machine was still flaky but all I lost was the link and the repeater was still on the air.

I know that there are so many features that I have yet to learn about. But there are many features available with my rc10. Is there any way that they may co-exist, even if using a repeater in between?
