Re: [App_rpt-users] Thinking Out Loud
So, only a very short use period... I'm currently running an RTCM at a remote repeater side, it's in full duplex mode and acts as a full node to my allstar (acid) server at my house. I'm using a cradlepoint CBR400 router with a usb 4G FOB plugged into it and the ethernet port plugged into the RTCM. It's actually amazing at how well this is working! I'll let you all know as I get more time under my belt and I wait for my actual inet connection there.

Alan/Adam, I have been doing this all over the world with my RTCM (S/N 2 or 3) and two MiFi units (one US, one EU) and it works great. Driving around Athens on 434mhz coming out in SFO full time is way cool. I take it all over, I think the RTCM had 80K Frequent Flyer Miles at this point. The only tricky part is that the home users can't tell if you drop out of cell range. Jim added an option so I can tell on the RTCM side but the far end users can tell why you just disappear from time to time. 73's Pete/wi6h -----Original Message----- From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Alan Adamson Sent: Monday, June 04, 2012 6:55 AM To: 'Pawlowski, Adam'; app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Thinking Out Loud So, only a very short use period...
