Internet Repeater Linking
Currently I
have one repeater linked to the Internet using the EchoLink software from K1RFD
at www.echolink.org . It is a VHF
repeater on 187.870 MHz, negative offset, 100.00 tone. This machine is located
near Woodward, OK. It
puts out about 50 watts and covers about an 70 mile radius. It is linked to
the Internet 24/7 through a wireless broadband connection and a link radio which is located at
my house in Mooreland, OK.
The link can be
controlled via DTMF codes and are as follows: 01 to link to a random node, 001
to connect to another EchoLinked station in Oklahoma and #
to disconnect from a link. If you know the number of the node you wish to link
to you may enter it in directly. Don’t know the node number? Don’t worry. Here
is a web site that has a page listing all nodes on the EchoLink system. It is
updated every 5 minutes. http://home.insightbb.com/~n9yty/
