Hello all, I want to set up an app_rpt server with two independently functioning simpleusb nodes: Node 1. Full duplex repeater Node 2. Aux transmitter The second node is nothing more than a transmitter (TX audio, PTT) so couldn't I simply configure the second node's simpleusb.conf file with "gpio4 = ptt" , "txmixa=no", and "txmixb=voice" ? Thanks and 73 -- KJ6QFS Sam Skolfield
Bob her with my 2 cents, It's not clear to me what you want to accomplish. If the second node is a transmit only of the first nodes activity, then why not link the two nodes so the second merely repeats the activity on the first. I may be missing something, but using the gpio seems overly complicated. The second node could even be a private node, or do you require linking from outside your server?

Setting up two separate nodes requires two USB radio interfaces to generate audio. You cannot mix and match between the two node instances with one radio interface. If you are wanting to save money (maybe why you are posing this in the first place?) you can consider a home-made USB radio adapter: http://www.repeater-builder.com/projects/fob/startech-syba-fob.html While this isn't necessarily easy, many folks have the skill necessary to make a nice looking cheap interface.

I'm 99% sure you need a USB interface per echo radio connected. If you just want to send a signal out, then you could setup a dual band radio that'll do cross-band (ass/u/me'ing the 2 nodes are on different bands) and shoot out the RF that way.
