INTRODUCING VKLINK, THE VK REPEATER LINKING PROJECT
For a couple of years now, VK3VS, VK7DB and VK7HH have been working on a project to link the countries repeaters without the problems associated with poor audio, limited connections, and "drive by" operators from other countries that connect, listen, hear nothing and then disconnect again.
The idea behind it was to use something cheap, readily available and open source software to connect repeaters via the internet, and make it work.
2 Years in the making, it is finally at a stage that can be released to the Amateur population.
All you need is a Raspberry Pi, a radio and a CM108/CM119 sound card to start. A riser board is coming to make an "out of the box" solution.
Look at the current nodes in operation, see status.vklink.com.au
The version of VKlink for the Raspberry Pi 3B+ has now been released
