[arm-allstar] Controller Connections

[K6ECS Allstar]

Our small Dell GX520’s both failed and maybe just need power supplies. Doesn’t matter. Time to move to PI 3a’s and get with the real world! We’ll still need a Windows computer for accessing the controller settings as needed.

At any rate, how simple is it to wire into an Arcom controller? Just PTT, Ground, RX audio and TX audio? Or does it need to go through an RTCM, which we have. Should I connect one PI to a Link Channel as Allstar and a second for IRLP/EchoLink?

We first need to find the foolproof method of attaching the Arcom to a wonderful MSF 5000 that had a Zetron controller connected and my brilliant Elmer just cut the connections off without noting the wire. He skipped town after first swapping parts from another MSF that he was to “inspect.” I get to start over.

Thank you in advance.
