June 2020 - Allstar was added in addition to Echolink with using a Raspberry Pi 2 for the 6 meter and 440 repeaters. A pi 3b+ is being used as a hub, located at KB3AWQ's house

Visit http://www.echolink.org for more info on using from your computer or cellphone, the normal FCC rules apply. ID when entering commands on repeaters and after connecting to a node. Even when kerchunking a repeater, you're supposed to ID before going to the next one. 73 and have fun!

KB3AWQ-L Echolink Node # 549933 is currently not in use.

KB3AWQ-R Echolink Node # 277377 is being used

Mandatory Command Codes

These are the mandatory command codes which all Allstar Link nodes must support to provide command code consistency to the users. Command Code Description

*1nodeDisconnect Link

*2nodeConnect link in monitor mode

*3nodeConnect link in transcieve mode

*4nodeEnter command mode on a remote node

*70Local connection status

*99DTMF Phone Key (Assert PTT from Phone Portal)

Notes

node is an Allstar Link node number

Node number zero (0) is shorthand for the last node operated on by a previous command

Monitor mode means listen to a node, but do not send any audio to it

Command mode means to send all received DTMF digits to the node number specified (bypassing the local command decoder). Send # to exit command mode, and restore local command decoding.
