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

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.
