I guess the question really is: Do your repeater systems provide line-level processed audio and COR/CTCSS decode themselves.? The Beagle/LOX board is a *really* great option. It will run 2 full-duplex repeater systems, but only if they provide their own audio processing. Overall, if this will work for you, its a much lower-cost, lower-power and reliable way of doing things, compared to purchase of a new mini-itx system, hard drive (or SSD), 2 URI's etc. JIM WB6NIL Date: Sat, 17 Dec 2011 23:14:14 +0200 From: shaun@pmbnet.co.za To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] Mini ITX board or Beagle board or ?? or ?? for remote repeater sites OK, I admit. Have not spent too much time with Mr Google on this one, but here goes hoping for a short-cut answer................ I would like to run each of my seven repeater sites (mains/grid powered with 12v standby bat) each with it's own URI and AllStar node. Some sites will have two URI's. Question; What PC should I use at each site (12v PC would be nice, and with "auto power on" from dead battery when mains power returns) I had a look here http://www.mini-itx.com/ but the amount of choice is overwhelming. No idea which one is suitable. Then there is this thing called a Beagle Board?? The processor must be fast enough to handle 2x URI's. I tried using a HP netbook and an Asus eeePC but voice overs were a bit choppy as if the processor was battling. I do not really want fans, hard drives or any other antiquated moving devices (when are we going to see quiet, passive pc's at the workplace?) I do not need wireless, just an Ethernet port.
