It's half duplex, so in theory, just some switching, and amps.
Interesting little brick! The price point is getting down there.

We started a MIC-E project with using a plain TNC knowing that it would
false on voice transmissions. Then, we upgraded it with a Tiny-2 with the
DCD board installed. That was a disaster using the DCD line to mute the
packets on the repeater output. The plug-in DCD board will definitely false
on voice signals. Finally, we went to the KPC3+ (actually a 9612+) and it
made a world of difference using the software DCD.
We designed a buffer interface circuit that takes the COR line from the
repeater and the DCD from the TNC and OR those 2 signals. The result of the
OR output is then connected to the COR signal on the repeater controller
which is a CAT-1000 in our case. The buffer board was used to help isolate
the digipeater equipment from the CAT-1000. We built this on a small
perforated board with a DB-25 connecter soldered on each end (male and
female) so that it simply plugs into the CAT-1000 and the repeater plugs
into this interface card. By doing this, it is much easier to simply unplug
the interface board and connect the repeater back into the CAT-1000 if any
trouble shooting were required in the future.
The repeater has a voice delay for the noise circuit to function, so it
really does a great job in stopping the packet from being heard on the
output of the repeater.

Indeed, so he did.
Perhaps this is the answer to the unasked question?

I'm on aprsfl.net 14580 range is set to 200 and I'm picking up stations
farther out than that. I'm in Norfolk, NE and I'm picking up stations from
Des Moines, Ia.. I shouldn't be picking up farther east than Omaha if I
understand it right.

What is your filter setting, EXACTLY, now? Post a packet from one of the

Hi Dave,
Keep in mind, that if you are operating as an Igate, those extra stations
might be heard from RF and long unproto paths. The filter applies to your
internet feed only. I'm sure your filter settings are correct.

Filter setting is; filter r/42/-96/200. Here are couple of examples (I
think).

All these stations are outside the 200km range.

I noticed the difference. Besides the CWS stations only operate on the
internet and don't usually show up on my maps. There's one about 15 mi from
me that doesn't show up on rf only.

For the KPC-3, it is simply UIFLOOD WIDE,28,NOID
Im not sure of UIdigi... Anyone?

Check out the setting on my web page and follow the link to UIDIGI
Firmware settings.
http://www.qsl.net/n8deu/uidigi_eprom_settings.htm
Look under the UIFLOODOptions setting for an explanation of NOID and ID
settings for UIDIGI. The documentation with UIDIGI does not explain it in
detail, so I added some detail with examples on the web site to help
clarify what it actually does.

I'm looking for an adapter to put on to a serial port of a device, GPS, TNC
for example, that can talk to the computer via Bluetooth. I would like to
hear the experience of anyone who has used such a device, and what
recommendations you might have. Brent KH2Z
