I have the same version as yourself, which has the APRS/TNC personality board. When the tranceiver board comes out, I'm actually tempted to buy a second URC with that one built in as a permanent installation. It's awesome how these wonderful pieces of kit are popping up these days.

Looks cool and the aprs module is nice and useful. Thank you for sharing.

I bought the original one and liked the concept so when Version 2 came out I bought that then bought the APRS board, I haven't got round to using either yet, need to solder that board, the next version looks really interesting

This is really cool. Is there a way to control this over tcp/ip with voice control? Or maybe some other gadget to do that with these cheaper hand held radios?

That is such a nice device but like with many new devices, it seems a bit buggy (at least with the firmware I have). This may be related to running Quasheng dock in linux under wine though. Do windows users find that buggy?

Wow!

how is it compared to AIOC? any extra functionality (besides the multitude of connectors)?

@markherbert6737 2 ай бұрын

It has a CAT port, monitor speaker and an open-source internal connector for creating a range of additional functions. RF reliability is also improved.

That's really how OHIS is wired?! How utterly idiotic. They could have easily made it use standard RJ45 Ethernet patch leads.

This is the one that is the modified AIOC?

No wonder you're asking what people are using this for....I'm stumped... So you can buy this and use Chirp? Well I use Chirp often without this... Same story with APRS...I have rigs & Pi's that use aprs fine without this kit... Are there other uses not covered in the video, or am I missing something here? I don't mean to pee on anyone's parade, the video is fine, the board seems well made etc...but why? What real world applications am I not seeing here?

@TechMindsOfficial Ай бұрын

If you already have cables which work with chirp, or rigs and pi with APRS and packet, then you wouldn’t need this. For those radios that don’t have that option, like the handheld radio shown in the video, then this would work. It’s universal, can be used for a range of applications, but if you want to know more I would suggest emailing the guy that makes them. But it seems you have everything you need. I myself use the audio interface on my main radios.

@@TechMindsOfficial I see, i have looked on the guys web site but didn't really get much explanation wise from it, or ideas for using it, seems everyone is saying it can be used for a wide range of things but they never give any examples except for aprs and chirp. It seems to be a fix for issues i have never experienced... When you say you use the audio interface, do you mean as a data more interface or something? Sorry for the questions but i am genuinely puzzled...
