I stand korectdid.

The official price for Raspberry Pi boards has not gone up one cent. Unfortunately, like many other things, they are in short supply due to the ongoing chip shortage and other logistical challenges. There are people out there that are buying them (usually in quantity) from an authorized reseller when they are available and turning around and selling them at rip-off prices. Many of the legit resellers are taking measures to prevent that from happening, but they are still very hard to locate. And yes, Asterisk (including the Allstar flavor) will run on a PC running Linux.

You likely don't have the front mic HUB grounded (ie: the radio thinks it is off hook). Been too long since I was into the MCS2k software, but there should be an "ignore HUB" setting or similar tick box that would work. Or, if your mic jack is open, slap a palm mic in that has a hang up clip attached.

I got two and will add another two as soon as two radio kit is back in stock.

I ran the software a little to see how the interface is while I'm waiting on my radio and if you put the AM channels in their own 100 channel block, I think you can set A to scan just that block.

I am currently running XTS2500's for HT's and am running an XTL1500 as my home base station. You need to make sure you setup your radio right, mine was configured when I bought them, but after looking at the settings, with CPS, I found they got a lot of things wrong. if you have any problems of questions, hit me up.

The actual, correct spelling is: Magiguhsquirtz.. But the SQ is silent.

Thanks for the response. I am on a Mac and will have too order a cable, just thought this would be easier. Off it goes back to Amazon.

The FCC just issued a notice of violation to Traffic Control Services for unlicensed operation on LMR and GMRS frequencies in 4 mid-Atlantic sates. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-357545A1.pdf
