Updates to the EchoLink Node

KC2UEZ — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 13:49:05 +0000

Changes to the EchoLink interface were made to avoid unintentionally interacting with the repeater controller. The change basically consist of the addition of the DTMF code “C” before every echolink command.

For example: using your DTMF keypad

- To connect to node 123456 dial: “C123456”

- To disconnect from this node dial: “C#”

Please visit this page with EchoLink information for a full explanation of the changes.

100Hz PL tone no longer required.

KC2UEZ — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 20:43:18 +0000

Members of the club voted to disable the 100Hz PL tone on the K2JJI Repeater (-146.70Mhz). This was done so operators that are either not yet familiar with their radios or have radios that do not produce a 100 Hz tone could still check in to the NET. Thanks Andrew (K1YMI) for taking care of this.
