[arm-allstar] Controller Connections

[K6ECS Allstar]

Thanks Sam. My eye sight worries me now that I am THE technical committee. 
I'd rather start fresh with a Quantar or a MTR 3000 planning for maybe a 
digital future. But my wallet says no. I thought wiring was pretty straight 
forward. Just a normal connection.

For interfacing node to controller:

NODE:                           CONTROLLER:
COS ————————PTT
PTT ————————COS
RX AUDIO —————TX AUDIO
TX AUDIO —————RX AUDIO
GROUND —————GROUND

Fob/ radio interface choice doesn’t really matter in this case.

You don’t need an RTCM.

As far as interfacing an MSF to your controller, there are loads of great
articles all over about how to do this, notably the many well-written
repeater builder articles that come up as the first few results with a
basic google search.

Cheers,
SS
