Echolink  Commands    145.390 -              443.200 Repeater System

Connection to Echolink does need a special character ( *  ) is needed plus the  node or user number you would like to connect to. For instance the node number for this system (* W1PIG ) or * 15061.

To disconnect from the server ( radio  system ) use the # key to disconnect when done your conversation.

I do NOT allow CONFERENCE CALLS as it would tie up the repeater system for too long of a period. The only time Conference is used is in the ARES CONNECTION.

To use the system first check to see if the repeater is in use by others stations then PLEASE ANNOUNCE before you send your tones . Example .. :  K1PIG sending tones    ( drop the PTT to make sure no one is on the repeater ) then send your connection tones as needed.

Make your contact and when you have completed your conversation please disconnect by using the  pound key ( # )  this will disconect you.

The use of the * command lets us use both controllers and not get an error on the system. So far this is working and seems to be a simple fix. So remember just use the     * and the node number to connect.
