[arm-allstar] Controller Connections

[K6ECS Allstar]

I buy from Sunny. But one has to be careful buying the MTR  we need 2000. We 
need 100 watts OUT and the 2000 is known for myriad issues. I'd rather spend 
double and get a Quantar and with no plans to switch to DMR have no need 
(yet, if at all) for a MMDVM. I realize that there are Allstar gateways to 
DMR but as I've they are not favored by many. I have a CS800D and I'm on 
DMR.

Thank you nonetheless.

You can buy a 90 day guaranteed MTR2000 and put a slide in MMDVM card in it 
for around $600 all-up. Sunny Communications for the MTR and N3XCC for the 
STM32-MTR2K board. You don’t need an MTR3000 to do digital.
