Thanks John! So it’s not a website you can log into to and access distant repeaters. Marvin N5RKW

Just a little more info... AllStar is repeater or radio linking software with features similar to IRLP and Echolink. It is based on the open-source Asterisk PBX software with lots of additions such as repeater controllers and a little remote control ability. There are two AllStar distributions both free but from different websites. One distribution runs exclusively on the Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer under the Arch Linux operating system and the other distribution on a Raspberry Pi and OS, Debian Linux, or Windows X/86 system. The Raspberry Pi is a series of small, single-board computer systems which run primarily Linux operating systems most of which are based on the Debian Linux. Another popular OS is Arch Linux. The only problem at the moment is that almost ALL the versions of the hardware are unavailable due to production problems and chip shortages. The trickle of boards coming out is being bought up by commercial users of this hobby-type computer before we get a chance at them. Hopefully, the supply problem will ease over the next year or so. Right. Hope this is useful. 73 John K5JS On Sun, Nov 20, 2022 at 8:28 AM Jimmy Newland via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org<mailto:bvarc@bvarc.org>> wrote: A Raspberry Pi (RasPi) is a small inexpensive computer that runs Linux (RaspIan OS) They often come as a kit.

They are used in digital mode amateur radio a lot I think. I have several for my electronics projects but none for radios yet. I don’t know what Allstar link works though. I have just started using EchoLink which I assume must be somehow similar.

Raspberry Pi to my knowledge is a flavor of the Linux operating system. I hope this is correct. If not I am sure someone will chime in. :-) I cannot help you on the Allstar link. 73 Leslie, AD5WB On Sunday, November 20, 2022 at 03:00:14 AM CST, Suggs, Marvin (KTRK-TV) via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org<mailto:bvarc@bvarc.org>> wrote: Can someone please explain how Allstar link works and how you can access distant repeaters?
