[arm-allstar] Theorhetical node limit

[kg5rdf]

Mike,Non issue for us, 14 sites are allstar links/controllers.https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1ZccJlJJfE7XxKzJSxHqF-GRU6Y0&shorturl=1&ll=33.16658237529725%2C-96.77441245&z=7

My goal was to have two interfaces (radios) perPi, one for the repeater and one for an auxiliary link, if that site needsit, to another repeater/system.Mike.On Mon, Feb 24, 2020 at 10:27 PM "Doug Crompton via ARM-allstar" <arm-allstar at hamvoip.org> wrote:> Mike,>> For the application you are talking about I don't think you have to worry> about limits.
