Before you get too far into this, you may want to look at the FCC Regulations related to identification, and more importantly, remote control.

I was thinking of experimenting with a remote receiver for the DR-2Xrepeater. Initially I thought using a Yaesu mobile that crossbands for it would be good. I decided to try bench testing this concept with a ftm-500 I use as a mobile. side of things fine. It's when it's transmitting what the receiver hears is a bit problematic. It only transmits in analog. Doesn't matter if it's a vfo or memory channel that's presetup to be digital. It spits it out in analog only. I can configure the DR-2X to spit it back out as digital only. Then you will lose other data like the users callsigns for example. Because that's all lost when things are transferred over via the analog link. only solution for now would be have another DR-2X as the remote receiver. That's a bit ridiculous cost wise. run in AMS & uses Wires-X & YSF reflector bridge all digital. -- Untitled Document |
