Echolink & IRLP System

Echolink Node # 202044

IRLP Node # 3123
 
 

Do to the nature of our large 5-County wide link system, all outgoing calls must be initiated by a control operator.

To make an outgoing call, please call for a control operator to bring up the node.

 

NO !!!, Standard Echolink and IRLP Codes DO NOT WORK on this repeater system.
 
With Echolink & IRLP use the first thing we must all remember is to leave a
gap between transmissions. Having said that this is a good time to list
the three main rules when connected to an Echolink or IRLP system:

1. Pause
2. Pause
3. Pause

Due to the slight increase in delays created by multiple Tone Squelch
radios in the links between the repeater's and link radio's, a slight
change in our normal operating procedures is required with Echolink & IRLP.

By leaving a pause between transmissions it.....

• Allows Repeaters to reset.
• Allows users on other nodes a chance to check in.
• Allows other nodes time to send touch-tone commands to drop their node.

The most important guideline to remember is leaving a 1 second pause after
pressing the PTT button as well as a 3 second pause between transmissions.
