My understanding is that you can use *any* digium FXO/FXS (and possibly a less expensive clone) card it will work well and skrew the piece of crap USB interfaces. I further understand/think that it *MUST* be a two port card with both FXO and FXS present is this true? Or can you somehow get away with a single port FXO or FXS card? Single port cards are cost comparative to a ready made DRI USB which is --->>>>>*NOT*<<<<<--- production remote repeater site quality/capable and good only for testing experimenting etc. Even if such a card is TWICE the price of a DMK URI.. This is the way to go for a production system.. Which is *ALL* that I would ever run at a site.. And home I'll still maybe d*** around with USB interfaces which truly suck with app_rpt in ALL of my testing I've done in 3 years. Am I clear in this understanding? Any suggestions on cards/Interfaces that work well? Any that don't?? stick with Digium? I should have asked this bundle of questions 2 years ago *sigh* I realize newer boards will not have PCI slots.. "USB sucks + is unrealiable" -->as I have been assured both through my own testing and the developers of app_rpt. If you tell me you have a perfectly working sytem I'll have you do *my test* sit & listen locally at the system to the TX on continuously with PL encode and you *will* hear the audio pops & interruptions in the trasnmitted audio that I am confident are present in ALL usb installed systems :-).. but has been proven liveable for most. If you absolutely have to go with USB for whatever reason beagleboard etc.. small low power controller then it's time for a different controller if you require production/site performance & reliability.

I don't want to roll my own as if everything works out well we will move the unit to the repeater site in the Spring. But for now i was going to put it on a simplex node. I just didn't want to buy the adapter then stuck with it with no way to configure the server.. for the time being i will hook it to the ft2600 yaesu .. any thoughts on usb to radio interface?
