Assuming it works out and it looks like it will, the COS and PTT for two nodes will be on one USB to serial interface using an FTDI chip. Ypu will still need to build up the minimal interface circuitry from the TTL levels to and from PTT and COS but you will be able to use any sound FOB unmodified. So if you were running two nodes you would use three USB ports.<br><br>I hate to speculate on time-frame because that keeps slipping but soon!<br id="FontBreak"></font><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><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 19:01:01 -0500<br>To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>Subject: Re: [arm-allstar] Hello, and question<br>From: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>CC: kd0qcn@aecimo.org<br><br><div>Doug, </div><div id="ecxAppleMailSignature">So what you are saying, just to clarify, that the USB fobs that I have that can not be modified, I will be able to use these as is with the new version that is coming out?

That meant the TTS element of the weather scripts had to be modified. The new weather code is done and tested and waiting for the 2.0 release. So hang in there, it is coming.<br><br>On the difference between a DMK URI and modified FOB I have never noticed a difference and I am fairly critical of audio. There is slightly more filtering in the DMK product but they both use the same chip. The DMK URI schematic is readily available at their web site and you can compare the differences. The simple FOB has a wider frequency response as one of its uses is for headphone listening of stereo music. This is usually not an issue though as most radios roll off above the communication quality upper limit. <br id="ecxFontBreak"></font><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"><a href="http://www.crompton.com/hamradio" target="_blank">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</a></font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div>> To: <a href="mailto:arm-allstar@hamvoip.org">arm-allstar@hamvoip.org</a><br>> Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 12:15:31 -0400<br>> Subject: [arm-allstar] Hello, and question<br>> From: <a href="mailto:arm-allstar@hamvoip.org">arm-allstar@hamvoip.org</a><br>> CC: <a href="mailto:kb1ncj@gmail.com">kb1ncj@gmail.com</a><br>> <br>> I see some info about new weather scripts on a 1.3 version but I find no <br>> download for that version's image.
