please contact control op to use remote base,

Vo-IP modes will be turned off while connected

 

 

Notes about Linking capabilities

 

The Repeater is not running a EchoIRLP station at this time, these are two separate systems

 

Both VO-IP Systems use remote radios that are frequency agile,

meaning both Echolink Node 93516 and I.R.L.P Node 4055

can be moved to any VHF or UHF Frequency (in the amateur band)  if needed

 

Currently the Echolink Node resides fulltime on the KG4YJB-444.275 Repeater
