SR110U SHARI Allstarlink Node

SHARI (SR110U Ham Allstar Radio Interface) is a ham project designed by N8AR that implements a Raspberry Pi hosted Allstar node using a NiceRF SR110U or SA818 embedded UHF (420 -450 MHz) radio module. It will operate with a Pi2/Pi3, or Pi4 with USB connector positions swapped. SHARI is designed for construction and use in the amateur radio service by licensed amateur radio operators who can assure that their assembled SHARI kit meets operating requirements including RF frequency, deviation and required power levels at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies.

The SR110U version utilises the SRFRS python program to change the frequency. Other than that there is no difference in functionality between the SA818 and the SR110.

In order to create an Allstar node, SHARI plugs into two USB jacks on a Raspberry Pi2/Pi3 or Pi4 for power, the Allstar interface and radio programming (a short Male to Female USB extender cable can be used if desired).

1. A fully assembled SHARI Pi3U, Pi3V, Pi4U or Pi4V.
2. A Raspberry Pi 2, Pi 3 or Pi4 . The Pi2 or Pi3 is normally used with the SHARI Pi3(U), while the Pi4 is normally used with the SHARI Pi4(U)
3. A case for the Raspberry Pi. A metal case is preferred but if you want to use a WiFi connection instead of a wired network connection then a plastic case may be required to obtain adequate range.
4. A micro SD card, 16GB or larger, Class 10 or better is recommended.
5. A power supply for the Pi-This should be a power supply intended for the version of the Raspberry Pi. These supplies typically provide 5.1 to 5.2 VDC to the Pi. Current requirements vary with version. Numerous problems with Allstar Nodes have been traced to inadequate power supplies.

SR110U pinouts

Board Setting

This module appears to be a derative of Shenzhen Shangruisi Electronics Co. Ltd's SR-FRS-1WU 400MHz-480MHz 1W UHF Analog walkie talkie module, http://www.sunrisedigit.com/product/33-cn.html

• PTT - red
• COS - green
• COMM (USB Audio CONNECTION STATUS) - blinking green
• POWER - green

SHARI RF output power is 500 to 1000(default) milliwatts. The RF power output can be increased to a therotical 1 watt by closing the jumper at , however, heat dissapation must be addressed.

Chipsets

Radio Module Programming

An appplication is used to set the frequency and other paramaters of the radio module.
