Well, two different things.

Not using a DD mode access point and a "bent pipe" relay. You can just hook up a pair of ID-1s to make a link. One hooks to your router ( make sure is in auto sensing port) and the other at the remote site connected to a computer. Using four ID-1s you can build a two step path using two of the ID-1s at a location that is reachable from both far ID-1s. Just connect those two middle ID-1s to a auto sensing switch and make sure that the two pairs of ID-1s are on different frequencies and have the proper call signs in their headers. We used this in the Marine Corps Marathon to relay to distant aid stations that could not get the access point while dropping service at the relay point. Was not really proper for us to call it a bent pipe as the signals were decoded and recoded at the relay point. But was a convenient short hand for us. Real bent pipe just has some antennas, filters and amplifiers at the relay point. Also works fine without an access point and just a router on the end with internet point. Access point needed when you have more than one distant station otherwise your internet connected router needs an ID-1 for each out station. We created those files you referenced when we were getting ready to use the ID-1s for the Marine Corps Marathon back when the ID-1s were first for sale. Looks like we did not set them up to be world readable as we have been getting weekly requests for access this past month. Need to look at making site openly readable. Was just a place the wiki files were stashed before the currently supported NCR D-STAR Association site was created. 73, tom w7sua ( former n4zpt) co-owner of google site referenced below.

I think you may be thinking about Bent Pipe repeating with two ID-1s. |
