My echolink node # is 250970 frequency 441.00 mhz 250.3 pl and 145.540 mhz 110.9 pl simplex Manteca, Ca.

Connect anytime for a QSO.

OLD single radio system see button for 2 radio echolink mod for new pictures.

The Echolink system uses a ULI controller with notebook computer and commercial 440 Mhz mobile radio. Information can be found at echolink.org on controllers. The system covers Manteca and is wireless except power for hardware. Incase power outage exceeds notebook battery time computer will reboot into echolink program. The power outages in our area are so little there was no reason for backup battery on transceiver and modem. To save power the notebook will shutdown hard drive and monitor, running software off ram only.
To get maximum link range from my house I am running in open squelch. The problem that occurred using 77 hz pl was a .12 second pulse being transmitted out over the echolink. I changed to 203.5 PL and problem went away. I also tried digital squelch called DCS and that worked but in not included in older transceivers even though it worked better then PL.

The simplex echolink is the answer to active hams that want to be miles from home and still use echolink. Sitting staring at a computer screen is not what I want to do. The construction of a link station is just connecting components together, antenna and internet. Some hams share a repeater system and that is ok but the problem is others being in control and down time. I tried this and was not a good solution to problem so have my own link.
To learn about controllers go to echolink.org for sellers.
