Internet provision at a remote repeater site?

Adrian G4UVZ All Messages By This Member #213928 I am the keeper of GB3VS a UHF repeater in the UK .it operates using the ARCOM 210 controller ..which has 2 spare channels I am considering connecting it into the Allstar network but the site has no internet. We are a small group with limited resources so a a mobile SIM is not really an option. My home QTH is approx 500M from the repeater site. I am therefore looking at how I might extend a data link from my home to the site ? ? Alternatively link the repeater raw audio ( without callsign, time announcements etc) to my home QTH where it could routed into my hotspot Raspberry Pi. ? I am sure that someone must have attempted this at some stage?

K1IMD All Messages By This Member #213939 Adrian, If you have line of site or you can make a LOS shot a pair of Ubquiti 5GHz radios configured as an Ethernet bridge.? 500m should no problem.? I suggest 5GHz if it is available in your country because 2.4GHz is an RF cesspool with only 3 channels due to overlap here in the US, with billions and billions of IOT on that spectrum. I use them all the time on camera systems and even remote my HF station, IRLP & DMR repeater on the same link.? There are many vendors of similar radios but these have proven to be very reliable.? I have one link that has been running over 10 years and I have not done anything except upgrade the firmware every so often. Good luck! K1IMD smime.p7s smime.p7s

Here is the AREDN Web Site: That is for the jackwipes that make noise about linking repeaters over the internet, this uses all of the same protocols but under Pt 97 (USA Rules), there is AREDN in the UK because there are a bunch of nodes on the dynamic map.? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Mar 17, 2025 at 11:39?AM k9wkj via <k9wkjham=[email protected]> wrote: if you have line of site?? then a pair of these little cheap beauties will give buckets of bandwidth ? we have wifi links from as short as 1.3 miles to as far as 29 miles?? all done on 5Ghz wifi -- Chuck -- KP4DJT AREDN Meshphone # 405.2005 and 405.2013 HamHotline # 11259 DMR ID 3140958
Ken Arck AH6LE All Messages By This Member #213977 I likewise use AREDN for all my links between repeater sites. No monthly fees and the hardware can be quite inexpensive when purchased off Ebay.

Sepehr - N6IRN All Messages By This Member #214048 If AllStar is all you want to accomplish, you could just set up an AllStar node and set it to TX on your repeater's receive frequency and RX on your repeater's transmit frequency, just like how you would program any other radio for that repeater. ? That way, you can keep the AllStar node at home, where you have reliable internet, and make an RF link to the repeater.?

The COR drops, the tone stops, and the CT, ID and hang time are now invisible to the Allstar receiver.

Karl Shoemaker All Messages By This Member #214079 We use downhill signaling for our .88 repeater for Echolink in Spokane. I installed a simple (NPN) switch on the CG encoder since it already has that feature (CG disable). Works great using a control station. Also works with IRLP (in a past project). -- - Regards, Karl Shoemaker To contact me, please visit SRG's web site at? for the current email address.
