I have my node on a commercial Kenwood repeater here at my house--on ham
freqs of course. The club I'm involved in uses an alinco and it works
well. As I said, we use it on the repeater, but it has some problems
doing it that way because of the slowness of the tone decoder. As a
simplex radio it would work fine.
Because i r l p has their own install which doesn't talk, I had help with
the initial install, but once it is on line and sees the l a an, I can
access it through the windows machine. I use a terminal program and a
program called winscp which lets one move, edit, and copy files. Works
like a dream.
