Radio-Less Full-Duplex Nodes & USB Interfaces
All ANR100's now include an AllScan UCI120 USB Communications Interface with AGC Mic Preamp, Mic Gain Controls and multiple bandpass filter stages for excellent audio quality, smooth dynamics, and an overall sound consistent with even the best radio-based nodes. These do not include a mic or speaker. I recommend a genuine Alinco EMS-57 DTMF mic which I have in stock for immediate shipment. For speakers I recommend any 3-8Ω speaker made by a reputable ham or commercial radio manufacturer such as Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu or Motorola. Notes:
- Speaker output power is rated at ~2.5W into 4Ω and ~1.5W into 8Ω. For mobile use or where maximum volume is needed I recommend using a 3-4Ω speaker or 2× 8Ω speakers connected in parallel
- A bridge configuration audio amp is used, therefore the speaker '–' line (3.5mm jack sleeve) should not be grounded
- Headphones can be used with the Speaker Out jack but may require a 3.5mm TS (mono) to TRS (stereo) adapter, or the Line Out jack can drive 32Ω headphones with L&R audio but is not affected by the Vol control
The UCI120 provides a switch enabling 0/10/20dB of additional mic gain and a knob enabling gain reduction/fine tuning, and provides enhanced filtering of the 5V mic power line with a 10Ω—1,500μF RC filter to ensure the lowest possible noise with any type of mic.
Recommended Microphones
- Alinco EMS-57, Kenwood MC-48B, MC-60A, MC-80, MC-85; Icom SM-30, SM-50 (adapter cable/switchbox needed for Icom mics). These mics will all work from the node's 5V mic jack line - no batteries needed
- Non-preamplified dynamic mics, eg. Sennheiser E835, E935, Shure SM58, Beta58, Electro-Voice RE320 (use PTT Mic Base such as an Inrad DMS-1 with Kenwood cable). Preamplified condenser mics: Rode NT3
- Adapter/Modifications Required: Icom HM-154T, Icom SM-10: Requires 5V-8V step-up converter eg. B6287. Motorola HMN10xx/TDN83xx series (mods required)
- The following are NOT recommended: Amazon/ebay/Chinese counterfeit/knockoff mics, MFJ-299, Kenwood MC-43, other cheap hand mics, Bluetooth mics, keypad mics that output serial data rather than DTMF audio (eg. Kenwood MC-59, MC-62)
- Any mic with an internal preamp that will work on 5V should work well if wired to an 8-pin round plug (Kenwood/Alinco pinout). Astatic D-104 preamp can be wired to run from mic jack 5V line instead of 9V battery
- Many Speaker-Mics and Headsets can also be supported, and an OHIS accessory board is available, contact me for details

USB Radio Interfaces
AllScan URIs deliver unmatched audio quality, RFI-rejection and cost-effectiveness. Comprehensive LEDs show USB host Status, COS, ADC Clip, and PTT state. Extensive I/Os fully support both HTs and mobile radios, half or full duplex. HTs connect with standard K1 2.5mm & 3.5mm TRS cables, and the URI110 and URI200 also include a Mini-DIN-6 jack. Onboard trim pots support everything from mic to speaker levels and low or high impedance audio inputs and outputs. AllScan URI Configuration Settings
Perfect for use with AllScan node designs or with nearly any type of radio(s). Because full-duplex HT-based nodes require more thorough RFI-filtering than any other type of node, AllScan URIs provide the most comprehensive RFI/EMI filtering available, with separated USB/Digital/Analog grounds and power, ferrite beads and bypass caps on all radio I/Os, optocouplers on the PTT & COS lines, and a 10Ω–500uF RC filter on the 5V Analog supply. The URI150 and URI200 add audio isolation transformers for maximum possible RFI-rejection and switch-configuration options for full control over various signal lines and grounding options. The URI100/110 PCB measures only ~2"x2" in size - not much larger than a CM108 sound FOB but with far superior RFI performance and with all I/O lines available on through-hole header pads in addition to the K1 and 3.5mm TRRS / Mini-DIN-6 audio jacks.
AllScan URIs support AllStar, EchoLink, other PTT communications applications and interfacing of Win/Mac/Linux PCs and Smartphones to HTs, portable and mobile radios for use with remote rig control, digital modes, packet radio, etc.

Custom Builds
I can do custom builds with any enclosure and any other options you might need.
I can also set up cloud VM nodes, repeaters, links, and custom hardware and software.
Radio-Less AllStar Node using a Communications Speaker
I can build custom nodes using any communications speaker if there is sufficient room to add a mic jack, volume control, etc. I include an A/B switch and external speaker level input jack with all speaker conversion nodes so that the original functionality of the speaker remains fully intact and it can still be used with any radio.
Custom ANR200 - $Email for details
These are around the same price as an ANR100 plus the actual cost of the speaker and $150-200 to cover additional labor and options ie. A/B switch and external speaker level input, panel mount status LEDs, and any other desired options. Can include audio dynamics controls, aux inputs, line outputs, level meters, etc.I currently have in stock a Heathkit HS-24 that can be made into a node. These can plug into any PC or RPi or can be provided with a fully configured and tested MiniPC.
Radio-Less AllStar Node using a Phone Patch
I can build custom nodes using any phone patch. Since AllStar runs on Asterisk (a phone system), adapting a phone patch makes a lot of sense. It is also possible to preserve the original phone patch functionality such that it can still work with analog telephones and HF/VHF radios in addition to AllStar.
Custom ANR150 - $Email for details
Around the same price as a UCI120-PCB plus the cost of the phone patch and $150-250 to cover additional labor and options ie. VU Meter support and other desired options or customizations. Includes all standard UCI120 featuresOrdering Process, Contact Info, Payment Options

Terms & Conditions
I am not responsible for packages after they have been given to the post office or other shipping company. I provide a tracking number with all shipments, but in rare cases (<~2% of orders) tracking data and delivery is sometimes delayed by up to ~2 weeks. I've been doing e-commerce since 1997 and in that time have shipped over 5,000 orders, and of those less than 0.2% have been lost or damaged. I pack everything very well with plenty of bubblewrap.
Insurance can be added to any shipment upon request but I cannot guarantee that in the unlikely event of loss or damage that the shipping company will honor and pay out the claim. Because ~99.8% of orders are delivered without issue I do not by default add insurance to packages as it does nothing 99.8% of the time and even in cases where the shipping company loses or damages a package they often make it difficult to file a claim and be compensated.
The signature required option can be added to any shipment on request, and is automatically added on orders over $600. If you have had any issues with reliably receiving mail and packages in the past you should probably request this option.
