Echolink & Dial-a-Node

The UK Server is glad to offer Dial-a-Node on Echolink

Repeaters and HotSpots welcome.
Everyone is welcome to use the Echolink Bridges.

 

Below is how to move the AllStar Node 29177 to a Echolink node.

 

The way to use the Dial-a-Node on Echolink Is to program the radio with TG 9 on Time Slot 2.
It works the same as AllStar Dial-a-Node.

*Add  9  in contact / talk group as GROUP CALL.

Make a Channel up for Talk Group 9 and then add to a Zone you wish to use it in.
This is the only Talk group you will need for a QSO on Dial-a-Node.

Link to a Talk Group/Node via Manual Dial “Private Call” from your radio –

Menu - Contact - Manual Dial - enter Talk Group  number 23427 - PTT for up to 3 sec.
Or
Menu – Talk Group - Manual Dial - enter Talk Group number 23427 - PTT for up to 3 sec.

=  Manual Dial 23427 Private Call, PTT for up to 3 sec.

Manual Dial as Private call 23427 and PTT for up to 3 sec, you will now be on TG 23427 and the AllStar Node 29177.
*Then via Talk Group 9 you can QSO on that Talk Group/Node.
You can link to any Node as described above

To move to an Echolink Node-

Manual Dial as Private call   8   and PTT for up to 3 sec to put the system in dial-a-node mode for 30 seconds. You’ll get a voice prompt back on 9 telling you it’s done.

All Nodes need a Prefix of 3
If the node is less than 6 digits, you add 300 to make it a 7 digit
(7641 = 3007641,  917690 = 3917690, 43307 = 3043307

Now Manual Dial as Private call the Prefix 3 and Echolink Node number and PTT for up to 3 sec.

The Node will now move.

*Via TG 9 you can now talk.

AllStar Node 29177 dashboard.
