Ok here are some prices for the Cisco solution. Cisco 2600XM router 50 to 200 bucks on eBay depends on what cards might be in router.
VIC-2E/M 12 to 40 Bucks on eBay, NM-2V 33 bucks buy now on eBay. This is what you need on each site minimum. If you hooked up with a ham that is a Cisco Jock, you should be able to do each site for less than 200 bucks. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of wa5jxy Sent: Saturday, July 18, 2009 12:09 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] ROIP - Cheap OK, I have searched the ROIP posts, and I have to say all the posts I have viewed just miss the point of what I am looking for. Yes, there are MANY ROIP commercial product related posts. All $$$$$$$$ What I am looking for is a SIMPLE and CHEAP solution for ROIP for AMATEUR service. OK, I understand the commercial product line and the need for small business solutions ($$$$). Raytheon NXU etc. What about the amateur service trying to break into the ROIP solution? I built a P25 repeater for amateur service just because the technology is there. It works and is cheaper than buying a complete P25 commercial repeater. Now I want to build a ROIP interface similar to IRLP and Echolink without a central server owned by someone else. I have the dedicated fiber infrastructure (10GB backbone) in place I can utilize for ROIP. What I need is a schematic so I can build my own ROIP cards for PC or a cheap already built card available on ebay. There must be a Asterisk and cheap card solution out there. Anybody already done this? I have an Asterisk PBX server already built and working. Anybody set up Asterisk for ROIP and what card(s) did you use? I see then for $159 on ebay but I already have MANY parts and can build them cheaper, but still need a schematic or pre-built card. If not, how about starting a discussion to do this? My goal is to link several repeaters via ROIP other than echolink or IRLP. Thanks! Neil WA5JXY ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
