I'm seriously considering setting up an Allstar node. Since I currently run an EchoIRLP node, but since I can't run Allstar and IRLP on the same computer, it will be a bit inconvenient to have all three. I want my Allstar node to be as portable as possible. Having a small repeater would be nice. I'd like it to be able to operate in a way that would allow me to carry it somewhere and set it up, but if I need it, be able to connect an outside antenna to it. I would also like to have autopatch capabilities, both outgoing and incoming. I'm pretty technical and once I figure out how to do something, I can usually do it again. The big obstacle is my blindness will prevent me from setting up the system myself. I don't have any local hams I can ask to help, since most of them in this area are not interested in internet linking. Any ideas on how I can accomplish my goal?
