W3YT Repeater 146.865 (-) 123.0 Hz tone

IRLP node 8444, Echolink node 86768, AllStar node 28325

Treasure Island, FL

Serving the islands and surrounding areas with local 2-meter repeater communication and long distance communication via the IRLP, Echolink, and AllStar systems.

 

The system: The repeater is a GE Mastr II Executive with 20 watts of transmit power after the duplexers. The controller is a MCC RC-1000V. The IRLP/Echolink node uses a Raspberry Pi running the Debian distibution of Linux. The AllStar node uses a BeagleBone Black running Archlinux.

 

The repeater audio is streamed live at:   http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/16665

The live streaming video pointed to the beach is at (daytime only) :   https://www.dropcam.com/p/F6sv8b

 

THIS IS AN OPEN REPEATER, AVAILABLE TO ALL LICENSED AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS.

IRLP/ECHOLINK CODES

IRLP:

111          connection status of node

XXXX      connect to distant IRLP node

73            disconnect from distant linked IRLP node

9999        IRLP echo reflector to hear playback of your signal via IRLP (73 to disconnect)

Echolink:

#XXXXX Connect to distant Echolink node

#73 disconnect from distant Echolink node

 

AllStar Codes

 

*511   connection status of node ("repeat only" means not connected to a node)

*3XXXX  connect to distant node

*53  disconnect

*81 time

 

Shortcuts to connect to certain reflectors or nodes:

*52 N3VSI node 28366 (MD)

*54 WAN System (PA and East Coast)

*55 WIN System (CA)

*56 Alaska reflector

*58 Saltgrass System (TX)

CHANGING THE REPEATER FROM IRLP/ECHOLINK TO ALLSTAR

 

Note: when not connected to a node, the repeater should be left at rest in the IRLP/Echolink - ready state.

 

DTMF codes to toggle between IRLP/EchoLink and AllStar:

(Note, please disconnect from any nodes before you toggle to a different system)

 

Switch to AllStar - ready state: enter D333

Switch to IRLP/Echolink - ready state: enter D336

After D333 you will hear a 2-tone beep, low to high.

After D336 you will hear a 2-tone beep, high to low.

If the repeater is in use, you will not hear these tones until after it is quiet.

 

To see what state the system is in: 

111 will give message only  if in IRLP/Echolink - ready state

*511 will give message only if in AllStar - ready state

If you get nothing for either code, try the toggle codes above to set the state

 

 

This will also help you tell if you if the switch is on the IRLP or the AllStar side:

In IRLP, there is no extra courtesy tone other than the usual repeater coutesy tone (which is pretty loud).

In AllStar, there are 2-3 extra beeps that you will hear as courtesy tones. 

In AllStar you will here when another node connects with a female voice.

 

When you are finished with AllStar, please toggle repeater back to IRLP/Echolink - ready state.
