At the time I chose to go with HamVOIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was not an easy choice to make because despite HamVOIP being &#8220;newer and better&#8221; than ASL, the source code was being withheld by the developers. This was in clear violation of the terms of the GPL (the GNU General Public Licenses). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a good amount of discussion available on this subject all over the place so I won&#8217;t bore you with it here. I will say that I have a low opinion of those in charge at HamVOIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was therefore extremely pleased when the folks at AllStarLink recently released a new version of their software. The improvements are vast. Goodbye, HamVOIP. Hello AllStarLink v3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would recommend that all HamVOIP users make the switch. You will be happy that you did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also moved my AllStarLink node from my Raspberry Pi 4B to a Pi 3B. I wanted the Pi 4 for the DMR node and the Pi 3 was plenty powerful for the AllStarLink node. The Pi 3 fan is a 5V job but I run it at 3.3V so that it&#8217;s quiet enough to live in the ham shack and not be a bother while still maintaining an excellent CPU temperature of 42C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I first built my AllStarLink node I had the choice of using the original AllStarLink software or the newer and more advanced HamVOIP software.
