Are private nodes (e.g. Non-voting RTCM) permanently linked to their host (hub)? IOW, can iaxrpt be used to link and unlink (?) a private node, from the host; both on a private IP system (behind the same router). We have a dual Allstar node system with repeater A connected via URI to the Allstar/ACID computer, which also talks via a URI to a UHF analog link to repeater B. Repeater B uses an RLC-4, which I'm considering replacing with an RTCM, and an IP based rf link. (The UHF link works fine, when the old radios are functioning.) We do want to disconnect them at times when running two events at once in different geographical areas associated with each VHF repeater, which are separated by mountains. Would it be better to use an Allstar node for repeater B (RTCM) on an IP link, or would a private node serve our purposes? Hence the opening question. Why a private node, don't rally want it visible (accessible) from the Allstar system for third party linking. We'll put this one in the category of experience diversification :-) Thanks, Bob kk6ecm Sent from iPad
