WB1GRB-R EcholinkCode
Node Number: 158564. Now using an Alinco DR-635T VHF/UHF Transceiver link radio.
EchoLink® has been tested and the repeater controller programmed. Updated Saturday, December 01, 2007
In Sysop mode, EchoLink can be configured to accept commands through the local receiver using DTMF tones (Touch Tones). These commands are used to enable or disable the link, or to connect or disconnect a station on the Internet. These tones can be used from your mobile radio or HT to access EchoLink.
Each command consists of a sequence of digits (or the special keys *, #, and A through D). Although a set of default sequences is assigned to each function, any sequence can be customized using the DTMF tab of the Sysop Settings page. SARA is using the default sequences below.
If you have any problems or questions please contact me. 353-8422. John/WB1GRB.
Please remember to use your call sign before and after using the DTMF Tones! Time out timer 3 min. Please leave a 2 or 3 sec. pause between Transmissions.
The table below lists each of the DTMF commands. VoIP and Amateur Radio [PDF]
You must first push # first this will open the muted tones over 146.655. Example: #1234. Node Number: 1234
| Command | Description | Default |
| Connect | Connects to a station on the Internet, based on its node number. | # + num |
| Connect by Call | Connects to a station on the Internet, based on its callsign. | C+call+# |
| Random Node | Selects an available node (of any type) at random, and tries to connect to it. | #01 |
| Random Link | Selects an available link or repeater (-L or -R) at random, and tries to connect to it. | #00 |
| Random Conf | Selects a conference server at random, and tries to connect to it. | #02 |
| Random User | Selects an available single-user station at random, and tries to connect to it. | #03 |
| RandomFavNode | Selects an available node (of any type) at random from the Favorites List, and tries to connect to it. | #001 |
| RandomFavLink | Selects an available link or repeater (-L or -R) at random from the Favorites List, and tries to connect to it. | #011 |
| RandomFavConf | Selects a conference server at random from the Favorites List, and tries to connect to it. | #021 |
| RandomFavUser | Selects an available single-user station at random, and tries to connect to it. | #031 |
| Disconnect | Disconnects the station that is currently connected. If more than one station is connected, disconnects only the most-recently-connected station. | # |
| Disconnect All | Disconnects all stations. | ## |
| Reconnect | Re-connects to the station that most recently disconnected. | #09 |
| Status | Announces the callsign of each station currently connected. | #08 |
| Link Down | Disables EchoLink (no connections can be established). | (none) |
| Link Up | Enables EchoLink. | (none) |
| Play Info | Plays a brief ID message. | * |
| Query by Call | Looks up a station by its callsign, and reads back its node number and status. | #07+call+# |
| Query by Node | Looks up a station by its node number, and reads back its callsign and status. | #06+num |
| Profile Select | Switches to a different stored set of configuration settings (0 through 9). | B#+num |
| Listen-Only On | Inhibits transmission from RF to the Internet. | #0511 |
| Listen-Only Off | Restores normal transmission from RF to the Internet. | #0510 |
Connect
The default for the Connect command is to simply enter the 4- 5-, or 6-digit node number to which you wish to connect. To prevent interference with other DTMF functions, however, you may wish to configure a special prefix, such as A or 99. You must first push # first this will open the muted tones over 146.655. Example: #1234.
Station Shortcuts
Custom DTMF commands can be created to connect to specific stations. These commands are called Station Shortcuts, and are not shown in the table above. To manage your Station Shortcuts, click the Station Shortcuts button on the DTMF tab of Sysop Settings. You must first push # then short cut (on chart above)
Entering Node Numbers
To enter a node number (for the Connect or Query by Node commands), enter the 4-, 5-, or 6-digit node number. If the specified node is not among the stations currently logged on, EchoLink will say "NOT FOUND".
Example, # 1314. # opens the repeater DTMF Tones and 1314 is the node number. # 1314.
Examples
(These examples assume that the default DTMF codes are configured.)
Enter: # 9 9 9 9
EchoLink responds with:
"CONNECTING TO CONFERENCE E-C-H-O-T-E-S-T"
followed by
"CONNECTED"
because 9999 is the node number of conference server "*ECHOTEST*".
Enter: # 0 7 5 2 1 0 7 2 3 3 3 1 #
EchoLink responds with:
"K-1-R-F-D 1-3-6-4-4 BUSY"
because 13644 is the node number of station K1RFD, and K1RFD is currently busy.
Enter: # 0 1 I use this late at night. Talked all over the world with my HT! J/S WB1GRB
EchoLink responds with:
"CONNECTING TO K-1-O-F REPEATER"
followed by
"CONNECTED"
because K1OF-R was selected at random.
