(Click on images for larger view.)

Curtis ZS6CMO recently completed his 70cm AllStarLink Repeater.  In the video the repeater was connected to the ZS-Link Network in the Southern Cape.  Audio quality was excellent way better than the normal Echolink audio.  The repeater consists of the following equipment:

  • Dell Wyse 3040 Mini Computer
  • R1-2023 BH7NOR Controller for AllStar
  • Motorola Repeater Interface
  • 2 x Motorola Radios
  • Mobile Cavity Filter 
  • Yellow 3D Printed Holder for the equipment

Congratulations to Curtis on constructing a good looking "Mobile" UHF Repeater with excellent audio quality!!
