****Part Availability****
--- We are still actively building and shipping all products ---
We have parts in stock and will continue to build and ship our products as long as we are healthy, and USPS will take our outgoing parcels.


Since I build all boards by hand, there are times that production cannot keep up with the incoming orders. I strive to have orders shipped NO LATER than 10 days from the order date.
 
Orders are processed and shipped in chronological order. First in - First out.
 
You will get a shipping notification from the USPS with a tracking number when your order ships.
 
THANK YOU for your understanding and continued patronage.


While the ORIGINAL RB-USB-RIM is a feature rich USB to radio interface module designed to work in even the most demanding radio connections, the new RIM-Lite family is designed to streamline the most popular options into one cost effective module. Here is a listing of the current "Lite" family of products:


General Purpose Interface:
Repeater Controller Interfaces:

Radio Specific AllStar Interfaces:

The below interfaces are for use with AllStar/HamVOiP Linux software drivers.
Please see the -9600 offerings below for interfaces compatable with Windows based applications.






Radio Specific Windows Application Interfaces:
Direwolf, VARA-FM, SoundModem, etc.

AllStar uses the volume up/down inputs of the CM119 IC for COS/CTCSS inputs. Windows applications react to these inputs as volume up/down, thus these inputs WILL CHANGE the TX level in the windows environment. The resolve is to remove the COS/CTCSS input circuitry and thus the ability of external forces to change the Windows audio levels. The -9600 versions below are modified for use with Windows software applications.




  • All of the new Lite version products still include the missing pulse detector circuitry to avoid stuck PTT lines. By default, the heartbeat and PTT outputs are configured to allow the missing pulse detector to automatically disable the PTT line in the event of a stuck PTT due to USB PC communications failure.

  • All of these new boards offer an optional serial EEPROM that can be used to store radio/repeater settings.*

  • Courteous and friendly customer service. While product documentation is currently being written, the user's manuals for these products will follow in the same lines as the rest of the RB products in being straight forward and thorough.
  • * Software implementation dependent


    I am in the process of assembling a fairly broad collection of connection diagrams for various repeaters and simplex radios. These will all be published on-line for folks to download, easily make the necessary connections to their radio, and configure their software to be on the air with AllStar easier than ever before.


    My hope is that these products help more people get started with AllStar and its advanced linking capabilities.
