| + | In order to deploy a remote base node, the following items will be required: |
| + | # An assigned dedicated node number (e.g. allstarlink.org) |
| + | # A radio interface |
| + | # A radio interface cable |
| + | # A supported radio |
| + | # A new or existing PC host computer |
| + | |
| + | === Requesting an Allstar Node Number for a Remote Base === |
| + | Remote base nodes must be specifically requested from <nowiki>http://allstarlink.org</nowiki>. When requesting a remote base node, check the box Rem. Base, and if the remote base is frequency agile, check the box Freq. Agile. |
| + | |
| + | === Radio Interface === |
| + | A free port on a radio interface such as the Quad Radio PCI card, or the URI adapter must be made available for use by the remote base |
| + | |
| + | === Radio Interface Cable === |
| + | A radio Interface cable must be constructed to interface the Radio to the Radio Interface. Links to schematics for a few of these cables are at the end of this book. |
| + | |
| + | === Supported Radios === |
| + | This is a list of remote base radios which are currently supported in app_rpt: |
| + | # Dumb (Any radio, with no remote tuning capability) |
| + | # Kenwood TMG-707A |
| + | # Kenwoood TM-271 |
| + | # Yaesu FT-897D |
| + | # Icom IC-706 |
| + | |
| + | === Host Computer === |
| + | Any PC running ACID or Limey Linux with a spare PCI Slot for the Quad Radio PCI card, or a spare USB port for the URI. |
