Hey guys, before I start putting this together I have a question. I’m putting two nodes on one PC. One node is the usual repeater. The other is a FT897 type remote base. I really like using the parport for cos/keying. And I want to use the same PC’s port for both radios. As long as I keep the ppx=?? stuff within a particular radios node stanza will it work? Or if I have a ptt specified for one radio do I not have the ability to have another ppx=ppp under the “other node” even if (obviously) different pins for each. Like this:

 

 

 

[general]

 

[usb2428]

 

hdwtype=0

rxboost=0

txboost=1

carrierfrom=ppinvert

ctcssfrom=no

txmixa=voice

txmixb=no

invertptt=0

duplex=0

rxondelay=12

eeprom=0

pp10=cor

pp4=ptt

 

 

[usb28599]

 

hdwtype=0

rxboost=0

txboost=0

carrierfrom=ppinvert

ctcssfrom=no

txmixa=voice

txmixb=voico

invertptt=0

duplex=0

rxondelay=0

eeprom=0

pp2=ptt

pp11=cor

 

 

So before I go build this up I’m curious about this point. If it won’t fly I’ll add another PC for remote base controller. I have a few D945GCLF boards. I’d move the remote base to one using Limey
