IRLP / Echo link Procedures (You cannot dial a node with out registering your details)

Dialing of reflectors are not allowed without authority by Node Admin or the Scarc Committee as a security measure. These procedures and rules are to ensure the Acts of Amateur Radio are followed and it is a duty of care approach.

Before using the node you must listen first prior to doing anything.

Then pause and wait for the response from the announcement and local repeater traffic.

Once happy it is clear identify again and enter node number. (Security Enabled)

Once connected allow a 5 second gap before announcing anything and if after 2 attempts no reply you must identify you are canceling the node with a 73

The club currently hosts IRLP/Echo link on its 70cm repeater 439.825 (VK5RSC) Mt Terrible.

The node is operational 24 hours and is available for all to use and is not currently operating via a pin access system. However you must identify prior to entering any dtmf command for the node to operate. This is a standard practice and has had security installed to ensure that everyone announces their call prior to operating the node.

Future events on the node are a monthly net every 2nd Tuesday of the Month connecting to AMSAT Australia.

Any comments or feedback can be directed to Morgan (VK5MMM) or Simon (VK5LNX) Node Admin. EMAIL IRLP ADMIN
