Jim Belford's VoIP system
Jim has moved his system to a 55 ft tower near his business on the West side of town. It no longer runs eQSO as described below,
but the more common Echolink software. EchoLink works very similar to eQSO, and the the frequency is the same as before,
145.650 Mhz with a 100 Hz PL tone. It accepts all common Echolink DTMF commands, and is open and available anytime for all to use.
The club thanks Jim, WX0U, for providing this service to the community.
An eQSO Internet gateway has
been installed on 145.650 Mhz. This system offers local 2
meter users access to the worldwide eQSO system and functions like a
repeater with worldwide coverage. The eQSO gateway system uses the
Internet and TCP/IP as a conduit to link repeaters together.
Given the nature of the Internet, the linking can occur between
stations around the world, just as easily as across town.
Figure 1 gives an illustration of how the eQSO
gateway system is put together. Keep in mind, numerous
gateways can all be connected together simultaneously. In
these systems, anything heard on one gateway is heard on all of the
gateways.
From the Amateur Radio users
perspective, the system works exactly like any other repeater.
From figure 2 you can see that
PCs can connect directly into the system, using their soundcard,
speakers and microphone instead of a radio. This is an
important feature for those hams in areas not served by
gateways. Enjoy the gateway!
