RTL-SDR have no front-end rejection. While I like to use them for many things, They make terrible choice in repeater work. If your RPTR TX'r is in the same band, watch it totally de-sense that RTL-SDR. What good would it be. Better off with a tyt/boafeng HT etc. And that's not giving those any credit. You can set-up as many rx's on the server as it has the power to do cpu/memory wise and you have the network bandwidth to support. You do need some scheme to vote/select the most valid one (to the core site) if it is different PL etc. FYI There are RTCM /voter systems for app_rpt if you want to do it right. Since there is a left and right definable audio channel, I had always thought you could double-up on the dongles but never tried it. ...mike/kb8jnm
Greetings!
For remote receivers, is there any work being done on using RTL SDR rtl_fm multiple-instances on one dongle, as multiple app_rpt IP connected receivers?
I ask, because it seems that a remote (RX only) site can host as many receivers as I can shoe-horn in the box, and as many as I can add solar-panels to feed.
It also seems, that I may as well host neighboring areas' remote receivers, and they host mine - for even larger coverage.
It just seems a stack of ten GM300s in there is the hard way, and it's a lot of current draw too.
Any other ideas?
