My understanding is that AllStarLink can be done through a link radio as
well though IP access at the site is considered mo betta.  Much may have
changed since I last looked at it closely a couple of years ago.  Point
being that if an RF link is feasible, then the AllStarLink computer
could be at someone's home with an RF link to the repeater.  The CAT
controller is capable of having a link radio tied into it.

The duplexer is the largest item.  I think Myron could provide its
dimensions.  I have the Kenwood TKR-750 here and the CAT-200B controller
for the 440 machine which is the same size as the CAT-250 on .285.  The
other part would be a power supply.  It sounds like any cabinet would
need to be outdoor rated, which isn't exactly ideal for modern
electronics.

BTW, a few weeks ago .285 was keying up for long periods with an open
squelch.  I was able to transmit to it and shut off the transmitter.
