Tell me more about the radio USB cable, and what that all lets you export from the radio. I assume this is how you get the GPS data out of the mobile unit using the perl routine? I'd like to see the perl thing in action. (In person or maybe make a video?)
What your doing is what would interest me, same sort of thing I did with D-Star. Just talking is pretty much boring to me. Some sort of simplex node would be interesting. Something that gathers data from anyone on the channel and reports/keeps tabs when a radio was last heard.
Now that I think about it, one of the first experiments I did with D-Star was run a perl script that would poll the user radio ID's that my HT would hear.

That morphed into a simplex repeater node, using a node adapter. And later that got split between two radio's to make a repeater.
I am sure the DMR repeaters do all this, but if it's all plug and play, then there really isn't anything to learn and we are back to just talking on it, which is boring to me.
Nick gave a talk at the last club meeting. Do all DMR radios have an integrated GPS? What is the cheapest one with it?
