To do duplex (implement a repeater system), you need 2 FXS ports on a TDM400 and and a QRV ARIB board. The French board does not support full duplex operation. To do simplex (such as a remote base), you need 1 FXS port on a TDM400 and an ARIB board. The french board does support this mode of operation. As far as ARIB boards go, I, personally, have no experience with the French one, but since you are local, and you are interested in building one yourself, our ARIB cards are available as blank boards for $10 each. Its hard to go wrong. So, with 5 FXS ports, you have enough to run 2 repeaters and a remote, or 1 repeater and 3 remotes or 5 remotes and no repeaters.

Here's what I've collected so far to set up a node (maybe 2 if I can find another site):
1 2.4Ghz P4 computer (maybe 2 or more) running linux. 3 Digium TDM400 cards populated with 5 FXO and 5 FXS interfaces internet connectivity (dsl or T! at node sites and the colo facility I have rackspace in if I need a reflector - need hosting?) 1 FT-817/FT-857/FT-897 pots connectivity at most locations. VoIP account as necessary
I know I need a few arib boards but how do they compare to http://www.hamwlan.net/images/FXS-SIMPLEX-RADIO-V2.jpg
What else do I need?
What could I put up? the simplex vs duplex thing has me a bit confused. my experience with true duplex is in a linked system where if 2 people talk at once you hear both and cross band monitoring of my own transmissions
I'd like to put up a HF/VHF/UHF remote, maybe 2 that can be configured to linn between different bands and modes
a static way in by radio fixed frequency, maybe a repeater but I don't expect great coverage in these locations (linking from them is possible though)
other things?
possible node locations include:
phelan pomona irvine wilmington downtown Los Angeles Telecom hotel (difficult to attach radio ports here but maybe a good place to interlink with IRLP/EchoLink/SkypeLink)
I'd like to get building soon.
Eric
