WRBK882 Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 It appears the linking option sold by myGMRS has been out of stock for quite a while, as well as the SD card image. I understand the chip shortage has limited their access to Raspberry PI boards. Are there any other options? Possibility using a cheap Windows PC, one of the numerous Arduino’s, or any of the other single board computers? Not trying to start a fire storm, just seeing if there are options available that I am not aware of. Albert WRBK882 Quote
WRVS497 Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 I was wondering the same. The ODroid N2+ is a great alternative for these type of things. Would love to be able to install the relevant software and install myself. Quote
DesertRover Posted February 19, 2023 Report Posted February 19, 2023 Yes there is another option!!! Read: I had similar frustrations with the linking bundle being out-of-stock so I purchased a Raspberry PI from Amazon, ordered the URIxB interface direct from the manufacturer, made a DB25 cable (according to the pin outs of my repeater), installed the PI image from myGMRS and requested a node number and password (also from myGMRS) and I am now successfully linked to the network. There is ZERO support for this option but there IS plenty of documentation out there to help. It's a split image of Allstarlink's network just tweaked and used for myGMRS. I literally just finished my setup and now I am configuring it all to my likings. I will be going live in a few days. Hope this helps.... DesertRover (WRCS363) kmcdonaugh 1 Quote
