[arm-allstar] Hello, and question

[Jeff Carlyle KD0QCN]

Doug, 
So what you are saying, just to clarify, that the USB fobs that I have that can not be modified, I will be able to use these as is with the new version that is coming out? If that is the case, I will wait until it comes out so I don't keep ordering ones that will not work now.  Any idea on a time frame for the new release?  I understand there is a lot that goes into this, so I am by no means trying to seem impatient. Just curious on a rough time frame.

Thanks for all you do!

73,
Jeff Carlyle KD0QCN

Does anyone have a current known good source for the fobs? I have several that I have purchased with the blob that can't be used.  Any help in sourcing these would be greatly appreciated since I know these are getting harder to find.

There is slightly more filtering in the DMK product but they both use the same chip. The DMK URI schematic is readily available at their web site and you can compare the differences. The simple FOB has a wider frequency response as one of its uses is for headphone listening of stereo music. This is usually not an issue though as most radios roll off above the communication quality upper limit.
