[arm-allstar] Link radio interface with duplex rptr

[Doug Crompton]

Robert,

 Controlling a repeater with Allstar is very easy especially if you use Allstar as the repeater controller. Thinking of a repeater as a separate transmitter and receiver you direct transmit audio (pin 22) and PTT (pin1) to the transmit side and RX audio from the repeater to pin 21 and repeater RX COS to pin 8. 

Then set 'duplex=2' in rpt.conf and set the proper carrierfrom polarity in simpleusb.conf.

Of course you need to see levels and customize other things as you desire for the repeater operation like ID's, hang times, etc. As long as Allstar is creating the repeater ID and courtesy tone this arrangement should work fine.  

Many repeater users want to connect Allstar as a port on a repeater controller they spent big bucks on and they can't part with but in reality Allstar itself is a better choice in many cases. Each port would be a Allstar server connected via a local LAN. You oculd have limitless ports for the cost of an additional board and interface and the overall cost would be far less than an expensive controller.

If you do want to connect Allstar to a port on an existing controller it can certainly be done. It just requires a little different setup. I hope that answers your question.
