Will keep transmitting to the Internet 5 to 10 seconds after the local userįinishes a transmission, severely interrupting the flow of a QSO. The repeater's 'tail' is extremely short. May be desirable to use the COS signal from the link transceiver - but only if

To the sound card should come from the receiver's audio output, rather than theĬOS from Link Transceiver: If the node is remotely located, it When a signal is being received on the input. This ensures that EchoLink transmits to the Internet only The repeater receiver itself - or an equivalent signal from the repeaterĬontroller. Repeater controller, the best source of carrier detect is the COS output from SeveralĬOS from Repeater Receiver: If the node is hard-wired to the The PC, it is often necessary (or desirable) to use VOX instead. Node is the method of detecting the presence of a local RF signal.Īlthough the best approach is usually to wire a COS signal into the COM port of One of the most important considerations for an EchoLink repeater Repeater, a suffix such as /R in the ID is usually not appropriate (for Station's callsign, which is not necessarily the same as the EchoLink callsign Software should be configured to identify itself on the air with the host With a -R suffix, to indicate that the node is a gateway to a repeater, With either approach, EchoLink should be configured with a callsign Some challenges with respect to RX control.

The EchoLink equipment to be placed in a more convenient location, it presents Transmitting on the repeater's input frequency (on behalf of EchoLink users)Īnd receiving on the repeater's output frequency. The transceiver behaves very much like an ordinary local repeater user, With the 'remote-link' approach, an FM transceiver isĬonnected to the EchoLink PC at a convenient location in range of the repeater,Īnd tuned to the frequency pair of the repeater. Requires reliable Internet access at the repeater site, which may be in a One disadvantage of this technique, however, is that it This allows positive carrier and PTTĬontrol between the repeater controller and EchoLink, and eliminates extra Runs is co-located with the repeater controller, and interfaced directly to it,

With the 'hard-wired' approach, the PC on which EchoLink There are two ways a repeater can be connected to EchoLink. Here are some tips for setting up and configuring EchoLink to be used as a link To link any number of repeaters to each other, or to simplex stations.
