Sorry to ask perhaps obvious, but can you explain some use cases for this setup. How can this be used as MOH?


I haven't dug into the details of that yet but I was thinking the call would be bridged in some fashion.  I'll post something if I end up doing MOH with this.  I figure I would use it to broadcast local weather from NOAA or just plug it into a normal radio or mp3 player.  I wouldn't connect the wires for transmission.

The other thing a modern repeater controller can do for you is periodic call-sign transmission.  I think I've seen simple repeater controllers using an arduino.

Or do it all with a Raspberry Pi and then you don't even need the OBi.

  For this set up the repeater does not need to transmit a call sign because only I have access.  I'm required to ID anyway so there is no point.  What can I say about Raspberry pi?  They're awesome, they can do just about anything, and someone else already did it.. I don't have one yet but I plan to get one or two of them in the future.  I think a Raspberry pi makes a wonderful addition to any ATA. 

There is a repeater controller that I could tie in to my radio for about $100. It does all of the neat stuff but I wanted to put one together myself.  I haven't actually seen anyone else do this before in quite the same way as I did it.  Most of us amateur radio operators like to tinker.  The cable I made for this project also had another reason behind it.  I was thinking about attaching my radio directly into and old Android phone.  Imagine what you could do then.

I was looking at the setup and I think it's as easy as plugging the device into audio of your choice.  Setting one port to paging only and replacing the field MOHServiceNumber with # for the other port.  I haven't tried it yet but it should work fine that way. You might need to specify a service provider like SP4(#).  I'll have to experiment but it looks simple enough.
