DuraNode AllStar 70cm FM RF Hat Kit WITH Configured Software Download Link & Worlds Best Instructions!

DuraNode Simplex 70cm FM Allstar Node RF hat kit for AllStar. This RF hat kit is to enable you to build a Raspberry Pi hosted AllStar RF Node using the AllStarlink network.

This hat uses a NiceRF SA818S-CE UHF 420 – 450 MHz radio module. Uses the Cmedia CM108B USB audio IC. The hat is fully assembled, no soldering needed on the hat. This RF hat has a 40 pin Raspberry Pi header so it fits the Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+ or 4B series. Three LED’s indicate the connection status – Blinking white = Comms, Amber – RX  and Blue – PTT. The DuraNode Hat RF output power is around 400 milliwatts.

You also get a link to download MY CUSTOM VERSION OF HAMVOIP SOFTWARE. This is a game changer in the world of Allstar as no other kit supplier provides this.

LET ME EXPLAIN.. In this kit you get: A link to download my mostly configured custom version of Hamvoip software including a custom Supermon Dashboard already installed. Plus all of the tricky configuration settings have been pre-configured. Also you receive access to comprehensive online assembly and configuration instructions/videos that steps you right through from assembly to the final configuration and testing of your node.

Assembly Skill Level: Intermediate – only 2 solder joints required on the bottom of the Raspberry Pi board, plus PCB to Raspberry Pi assembly.

Computer Skill Level: Advanced – SSH ACCESS IS HOW YOU CONFIGURE Hamvoip or ASL software.

What you’ll need to supply to build a node:

A Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+ or 4B 1gb – will not work with the Zero W.

A Heatsink for the Raspberry Pi processor.

A quality class 10 Micro SD card, 16 or 32GB.

A case of some sort, IF YOU WANT THE GENUINE DuraNode Case you should buy the Build Your Own DuraNode Kit, as I don’t sell the cases separately!

A 240v 2amp power supply, I recommend the genuine Raspberry Pi PSU.

Core Electronics in NSW are a trusted supplier.

ALSO ! comes with my 2 year – no argument hardware warranty.
