    Terrific video. I learned about the other options besides the Shari (nothing wrong with it. )
    I have a. Bunch of idle radios, including the beloved Alinco DR-135 (has data port) and Yaesu FTM-29xx that I could use. Plus a bunch of Moto stuff. You’re going to make this easier and less expensive than I thought!
    I appreciate your service. Stay under a desk for the next month and stay safe. 73. Tom

    Hey Freddy, I have a similar story! You can always jump back in the pot, and then there is all new s#!+, at cheaper prices! I still love and use Echolink. I always wanted to try Allstar.

    Really appreciate you doing what you do on your Channel. I listened to the 8-hour Technician class A few times and took a couple of practice tests and got my technician certificate. I never cracked open one book. The online class was that good. I'm about to start on the general now that the new questions are up. Hope to hear you on the air when I drive through Dallas. I'm an over-the-road trucker, so this is definitely going to help keep me occupied while I'm doing my thing.

    i too got out of the hobby for 12 years and got back into it in 2009. i am on d star and yaesu system fusion with a hotspot use echolink on my phone but thinking about allstar and allready have a node number just need to get a radio to use as a node radio and get what i need to connect the radio to the raspberry pi. also need to buy the raspberry pi

    Thanks I have many questions, I like the idea of this being analog radio. I have DStar which is fine for talking to others around the world but I am looking for maybe closer to home but not neccesarily digital but analog via voip radio. So this may be just what I am looking for. Getting started may be the hardest part of starting something new like this. Thanks for the great video. 73 and take care...Vic de KE8JWE

    Can someone please explain whether or not you can just connect your HT to an existing Allstar repeater and acces the system that way? It seems that every single Allstar video or tutorial goes straight to building your own node/PiStar device and I’m beginning to think that Allstar is just using your radio to talk to your Pi, and that the whole Allstar thing is just a more complicated version of Zoom or Skype. For cryin’ out loud, there’s even videos of using your iPhone or Android to connect directly to the Allstar net online. Someone please unfuddle my brain!

    • @HamRadio2
      @HamRadio2  9 місяців тому +1

      Yes you can access the Allstar system with an analog HT that's connected to a repeater with Allstar.
      This Pi setup not only works as a node, but it's the part you'd add to a repeater to make it Allstar capable.
