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.

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.
