A node adapter does not, at any point, convert a D-STAR GMSK signal to analog 
audio.

Obviously there's no need to compromise the all digital integrity of D-Star by 
connecting it in any way to analog systems, P25 systems or the like.  

After all, D-Star has gained such complete market dominance with its user base 
of two-tenths of a percent of amateurs world wide! ;)

I've used a system with a very functional analog interconnect.  There's always 
some passionate rhetoric when this topic comes up, a lot like node adapters.  
Everyone is certainly entitled to an opinion.

Sure, well understood.  The 'device' that converts GMSK to audio is a D-Star 
radio and that would be the auxillary link to the analog repeater system.

The original question revolved about having an analog repeater relay a  
reflector's audio out the analog repeater, but to not allow audio from  
the analog repeater into the reflector.  Not something I would do, as  
it is confusing to users, but it would not inject non-D-STAR into the  
D-STAR network.  It could be achieved a couple of different ways, but  
not recommended.

There's a time and place for everything, including interconnection to 
analog based systems and networks.  I have written about this in the 
past in my blog at http://vk3jed.blogspot.com (scroll down towards the bottom).
