I'm planning my Allstar system installation. It'll be a couple months or so before I get the system running, but want to learn as much as I can now I have a few questions. My setup will consist of a repeater and at least one remote base. I want 2M and 70CM accessible via a remote base. Can I do this with one radio, or do I need to use separate radios? I want to set up my remote base so you enter a code and your callsign is announced. Once the remote is configured how the user wants, how do you prevent an unauthorized person from controlling the system? When entering remote base command codes, do you do it in one transmission, or do you press *4+node number, unkey, and then enter command+pound sign. Do you have to enter the pound sign after every command sequence? The web page for remote base configuration recommends radios to use. Those radios aren't being manufactured anymore. What are people using for remote base radios? I would like my remote base to be frequency agile if possible. My last question is about courtesy tones. When the repeater is not connected I want to have a "K" sent as a tone. When my system is connected to a remote node, I want to have a sound like a dial tone sent for local transmissions, and a double dial tone sound for remote transmissions. Can I do this?

I have a few questions.

Yes either way. Read the documentation at http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/2 and http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/32

There is a password capability. See above docs.

I'm pretty sure you can string all the commands together. Try it and let us know.

Sorry, that's all there is as far a I know.

Courtesy tones are quite versatile and should do what you want. See http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/96

So, if you're going to be keeping your IRLP available...you can't link to other systems other than your own. Single-ended (ie one of your machines is fine...), but as I understand, you will violate his empire's rules if you link that system to others.
Others may have a better way to describe it...I never thought it was particularly well-written, nor do I take kindly to folks telling me what I can do with software and hardware that I buy from them. A bit like Kenwood saying that I can't talk to a P5 station with their rigs. Bryan WB0YLE Iconoclast
