#Echolink stations online software

The EchoIRLP software allows an otherwise normally operating IRLP node to make and receive Echolink calls.

IRLP uses Reflectors for that functionality. Mainly because it supports multiple connections directly on the local computer. If you cant come up with such a channel to use, it sounds like you might need to convert your repeater to an Echolink only system using a regulation Echolink computer for the link. Some of us questioned Echolink management, but AFAIK, none of us ever received a response, and they removed our access to the Echolink network. Quite a number of the combo conferences ceased to exist as a result of that policy change. Echolink, in its infinite wisdom, a couple of years ago, decided to charge an annual fee for folks to operate an Echolink Conference, I used to run the Echolink *CROSSRDS* conference on the same machine as IRLP Reflector 9735. Although they are not as common as they used to be. You might be able arrange the use one of the hybrid IRLP Reflector/Echolink conferences for your net.

It simply allows IRLP stations and Echolink stations to reach each other without compromising either network. Therefore it is not fully equivalent to a true Echolink station and never will be. You are limited to a single connection at a time, and its prohibition of folks not using radios. Just find one and park your repeater there. But there are far more channels with no one on board. Large groups of folks continuously hanging out. Now good Amateur operating practice should prevail of course. You do not need specific permission to use any of them at any time. There are NO private or closed reflectors. > Also it's not much different than having a local person join in to the current conversation!ДЄLL reflectors are open to ALL nodes by IRLP POLICY. > If your running a net and you want stations to check in! It might work fine for your operation, but you wonвЂ™t know unless you try it. My point here is, if you want to allow inbound IRLP connections while your local repeater is in use, there is an optional parameter to allow that. If you want to schedule a recurring event and advertise it a bit, it is a good idea to contact that local admin to schedule something to avoid conflicts with other activities. your friend.Д®very reflector has at least one local administrator.

Some channels are very busy with large groups of folks continuously hanging out.

You can simply join in the activity by going to the same reflector.ДЄLL reflectors are open to ALL nodes by IRLP POLICY. Stations that try to connect to your node are told exactly where your repeater is located. Stations connecting AND disconnecting (if your node is configured correctly) to a reflector are completely silent. My suggestion would be to connect your repeater to a reflector. Disconnects are also announced and perhaps even more disruptive. Secondly only one node can connect at a time. The difference is, node to node connection announcements may be quite disruptive to a busy net in progress. If your running a net and you want stations to check in!ДЄlso it's not much different than having a local person join in to the current conversation!
