[arm-allstar] Repeater build

[David McGough]

Hi,

Yes, HamVoIP works very well to implement split-site repeaters, many are 
using HamVoIP this way, including myself.

The nodes I use for a split-site setup are configured for full-duplex 
(duplex=2) and have the TX connected at one end and the RX connected at 
the other.  Then, these private nodes are simply linked to each other with 
a permanent connection.  I'm using a VPN between the sites (ZeroTier), but 
that's not an operational requirement.

What type of radio hardware are you using?
