Very good as always Ian..... Had to smile at the end, I thought you were going to do an Anne whats her name wink..... You are the weakest link! Goodnight! 👴
Can you please post the name of the gent that can sell the ready made cable and the actual node unit itself. Time precludes me making it myself. EVER so many thanks. Well done and informative video... Your time and effort in making this is very much appreciated! Albert. EI7II
'beware' "narrow deviation" - most AllStar nodes are connected to 'conventional' +/-5KHz deviation analog systems. Not sure what "not narrow" would be as +/- 15KHz deviation went away in the 60s/70s. +/- 2.5 KHz analog deviation is VERY rare.
Hi Jim. most nodes in the UK run on second hand Motorola radios. In the UK, we have 12.5 kHz channels. Most commercial amateur radio transceivers only have 2 settings out of the box, wide or narrow. It is this I was referring to.
@@NorthWestFusionGroup got it - frequent topic of confusion here in the States, +/- context of old vs new wide v narrow. We have a LOT of folks bringing on new radios (off Amazon or other) somehow thinking 'narrow', setting same, wondering why their TX audio level is low. Oh so much we get to share/inform/advise for others after their exams and shiny new radio arrivals. Meanwhile, this might be an interesting topic for collaboration and sharing - both technically, and operating etiquette, etc. as so many enjoy their new license, engage in Radio-Over-IP, and consider they've made a 'DX' contact albeit a mere 10 foot RF space to the Internet... That said... would love to expand audience view of global operations amid "HamRadioNow" media. Meanwhile - pop-onto our hub node 40091 and we'll visit!
The usual way is to listen. If nothing is heard, a call can be made. As gateways in the UK only TX at about 1W input, it's users can normally hear each other. If it is a repeater, then there is not a problem of course. This video was meant as an Introduction to AllStar, not to cover all the bases :)
Very informative and well presented, thank you lan.
Very professional as always, sounds an interesting mode.

How do you know if a node is not in use? Check it's status? Well, sort of indicated but not specific enough to actually guide users to know...
