Well…the Maxtrak isn’t very portable. I think that’s the main idea here, or anyway, it would be for my proposes.

Seriously???
You can spend $30 on a Baofeng (Chinese Crap)
You can spend $30 on a 2 Channel Motorola Radius/Maxtrac (decent radio)
Why would you even think of using a Baofeng?
Where you going to get DISCRIMINATOR audio?
The Baofeng will sound like crap (warmed over)Kirk

Hello,I am looking to set up my first Allstar node and I’m going to use either a Baofeng UV-5R or UV-82 HT for the radio. I plan to interface this to the node with a DMK Engineering URI (http://dmkeng.com/URI_Order_Page.htm\) I have yet to order. Does anyone here have experience with interfacing Baofeng HTs to the DMK URI and have any tips on how to secure the connection and anything else I should know? I am also interested in Echolink so a product that would be compatible with Echolink would be my best choice.
Any other suggestions for radio interfaces would be welcome as well. I have looked into Advanced Repeater Systems’ products as well (http://arsrepeaters.com/USB_AllStar_Adapters.php\) and they look excellent, however, I would prefer the versatility of something like the URI for when I upgrade the radio on the node. It looks like the ARS product only interfaces to a certain radio but the URI will interface to anything (give you know the pinouts on your radio, etc).
So all in all, I am getting started and have yet to choose an interface. I have the Baofeng radio chosen as my starter radio, everything else is open to suggestions!
Thanks
