[arm-allstar] Radio-less node

[larry]

Don,

I am failing to understand your "There all sorts of "plans" but no 
operation instructions !!"

An Allstar Radio-less node is no different than any other simplex 
Allstar node. The only exception is it doesn't utilize a transceiver to 
talk and listen on.
I have looked and see 2 node numbers assigned to your call. Neither are 
showing as Active at the moment.

As for what you would like your Nodes to do, that is something you need 
to decide what their purpose will be.

Currently a radio-less node does nothing until you connect it elsewhere 
on the Allstar Network or someone connects to it.
Once connected you can use the mic to talk and the Speaker to hear a reply.

Go here <https://www.allstarlink.org/nodelist/> Choose a node number and 
dial *3 and the node number you chose (all one sequence)
It should connect to the chosen Node. to Disconnect later Dial *1 and 
the node number you called.

I would suggest that you visit the Hamvoip web site and read the HOW 
TOs. You also need to give some thought about what you want to accomplish.
Once you create your so called "Plan" tell the group here what that is.  
I'm sure you will receive all the help you need to perform those functions.
