June 2020 - Allstar was added in addition to Echolink with using a Raspberry Pi 2 for the 6 meter and 440 repeater. 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 your suppose 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
and
Allstarlink Node #'s
513960 - 444.900 PL 173.8 Repeater (incoming connections now work as of 3/22/23)
513961 - 29.560 PL 173.8 Repeater RX (incoming connections)
513962 - 29.660 PL 173.8 Repeater TX
513964 - 52.490 Simplex PL 173.8 (incoming connections)
513963 - Hub server is for incoming connections as originally I couldn't get incoming connections at the main tower site but now it works so its not really needed but for now its on.
444.900 PL 173.8 repeater, 52.490 Simplex PL 173.8 and 29.660 Repeater PL 173.8 are linked together through Allstar and 147.300 is RF linked to 444.900 - All four full-time linked to each other in the end.

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 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.
