I just wanted to share that I was able to build my first node. It took me a while to get all the configurations correct, but seems to be working well now. I’m excited to get started using it. It uses the following hardware/software:
ASL3 on Pi 3+
Motorola XPR 5550 running 1 watt
Repeater Builder USB-Rim Lite V2 Sound card.
I did not document the process. The hardware was all plug and play; the software setup was the basic installation of ASL3.
Getting the software config did take me a while, but seems to be working well now. With the config there was a lot of trial and error that finally resulted in a working node.
