I am blessed with running my own hosting business and own my data center. At home I have business class service. I have 50 down and 5 up. I think that easily covers the voice portion. I have KVM over IP and Remote APC reboot or I can run it here just as easily as my data center. 1. Which version of the software is best for simulcast? 2. How about the hardware? By default I would use a Pentium 4 3GHz with 4GHz of RAM a Dell GX series desktop. 3. Should I run a SSD drive for boot-up or would a Western Digital RE4 (server class) work ok across the board? 3. Besides simulcast for 3 nodes Id like to share what we have as a conference node (???). Do I have enough horsepower? I have 50 down and 5 up. 4. I'd like a private server and a public server on one PC. I would be tremendously grateful to anyone that answers these entry level questions. I don't want to make mistakes from the beginning.

You are building a simulcast system and you wouldn't want just one of the transmitters coming on independent of the other transmitters. You could make the Arcom (wired to the WX RX) a separate node and link it to your simulcast node. But what's the Arcom bring to the table? Why not just connect the WX RX to a URI or RTCM? -- Tim :wq On Aug 10, 2013, at 12:03 AM, Bob - AF6D <bob@af6d.com> wrote: Is it possible to setup a remote base connected to an Arcom and TX the WX receiver through? _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users@ohnosec.org http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users
