Multi-NID #'s on one Quantar repeater ?
Hello group, been off the computer for a while and was wondering if anyone has tried this by default or in modifing the codeplug., allowing multi NID's to acess a Quantar Repeater kind-of like a community repeater ...??????
..
network ID = NID
instead of trying to run multiple NID's - use the Astro conventional talkgroup option in your subscriber units ....

No.
Think of the network ID's as PL's for digital.
Though, I'm sure, someone will elaborate on that.

to elaborate, the astro subscriber units are programmed with conventional talkgroup operation - i don't think this is a paid option or anything - every astro radio i've seen is capable of doing it.
what this does is prevent other CONVENTIONAL users from hearing all the astro calls on the repeater (unless they are programmed as DSQ - digital carrier squelch)
again, this is a CONVENTIONAL programming feature in the radio - the quantar doesn't care and there is no option to enable it in the quantar RSS - it's all a function of the radio programming.
so, theoretically (i've never tried it) you could have 500 users on a single channel, using conventional talkgroups split however you wanted to divide them up - and each could have multiple (or a single) conventional talkgroup programmed into the radio... making the radio only unmute upon a talkgroup match.
hope that helps,

yes
well, sorta - it just provides more management of your users on a given repeater, especially in conventional mode.
it will require some testing and experimentation to work it out, but with some planning you should come out OK. one thing i would recommend is running the machine in pure digital mode. right now i have problems with analog users overkeying my digital users b/c they have tone squelch enabled and don't hear the digital calls, nor do they have busy channel lockout preventing them from tx'ing over the digital calls.
