We are pleased to announce the Allstar SMT Voter/Simulcast RTCM (Radio Thin Client Module). Many of you are familiar with Jim’s (WB6NIL) Voter project introduced a few months back. (https://allstarlink.org/voter.html) The voter project was developed to link remote receiver sites back to a centralized Allstar node server running voter channel driver software. The Voter channel driver synchronously monitors remote receivers (Via the Internet) and their RSSI levels and selects the strongest received signal for transmission over the system.

The RTCM is the next generation of this voter hardware/software platform. The surface mount design allows for a reduced footprint of approximately 122 x 77 x 30mm, small enough to possibly be fitted within the radio or repeater in which it controls. Some of the many added features include an efficient wide input voltage power supply (7-32 VDC),  Synchronized transmitter operation (Simulcast), Synchronized PL generation, DTMF decoding/Encoding and shielded D-Shell I/O connections. The module comes complete with an extruded aluminum enclosure for increased RF shielding.

The unit price is $269.00 for licensed amateurs and $369.00 for commercial businesses, quantity pricing available upon request. Initial production units will be available for shipment in late September early October time frame.

If you are interested in a live simulcast demo of our three repeater system here in Las Vegas please send email to sales@micro-node.com for more information.
