I am assuming I understanding correctly what you are doing or what you want to do. I do this here with my repeater. Often you do not have Internet capability at a repeater site and you want to connect it to Allstar. The alternative is to use a half duplex (simplex) node that talks to the repeater just like a user. The key is how you setup the repeater. <br><br>First of all you do not want the repeater output to control the distant COS. If that was the case you would have hangtime (tail) and ID's coming through the Allstar system. You want the repeater output PL to follow it's input PL. Thus no input signal to the repeater no output PL. Your local simplex node RX COS follows the input to the distant repeater. The downside is that repeater users who use RX PL decode will not hear the repeater ID or tail either. It is still legal though. <br><br>Another way to do this is to have two PL's on the output. One follows the input and is the one you decode for Allstar. The other is the decoded by the repeater users and they would hear all ID's and tails.<br><br>I do the former using one PL since 99% of the repeater users are talking to Allstar nodes. I send a courtesy tone and voice ID from the half duplex transceiver to the repeater. This is the easiest way to do it and the repeater sounds to repeater users like it is controlling the tone and ID. It requires a simple mod to the repeater making output PL follow the input signal rather than the repeater PTT.<br></font><font style="" face="Tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font><font style="" face="Tahoma,sans-serif">No special configuration needs to be done at the simplex node. It is duplex=1 and the tail time and ID become the repeaters tail and ID.</font><br><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div>> To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>> From: ke6sth@ke6sth.ampr.org<br>> Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2015 20:15:35 -0700<br>> Subject: [arm-allstar] half duplex node linking to a repeater<br>> <br>> <br>> Hi I have a node that is used for linking my local repeater to another <br>> repeater using a half duplex node.<br>> <br>> Some repeaters I link do have a long hang time and I find that I can't <br>> keyup the link until the remote repeater is unkey.
