Re: [Repeater-Builder] ROIP - Cheap
Jon; Using the dsb dongle which is a CM108 chip based usb audio interface one of the internal I/O pins of the device is mapped for each ptt and cor.. BUT.. COR is not really needed as the device DSP can handle signal to noise squelch and will work better on its own on raw discriminator.. PTT is required and if you build your own dongle.. you add a ptt transistor inside the device... It is a USB Sound FOB... I ordered 5 of them for about $7.00 ea... Information on the modifications is published... Google "CM108 usb sound fob app_rpt" and you should find several links.. or start at the allstar link page..

hey Doug, How is COR and PTT accomplished on this? Is it through the dongle? Or the comports?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] ROIP - Cheap
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.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] ROIP - Cheap
Asterisk is your answer, You can build a cheap interface to use with asterisk, try 6 bucks. Anyway just go to the website Asterisk Radio Network or Asterisk Amateur Radio Network and send an e-mail and those guys will help you out. 73 Will a5jxy wrote: > > > 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 ().

Re: [Repeater-Builder] ROIP - Cheap
Personally, I have always liked eQSO. I've used it since about 2002. I have also used Echolink. For several years I had my repeater set up to interface with both Echolink & eQSO. -- Original Message -- Received: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 09:45:04 PM PDT From: "wa5jxy" 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 ().
