Programming

Getting into the machine

Set these values in your HT or mobile rig. Most radios only need the output frequency, a positive offset and the tone.

Manual entry

  1. Set the receive frequency to 443.650 MHz (70 cm band).
  2. Set the repeater shift to plus (+) with a 5.000 MHz offset.
  3. Enable a CTCSS / PL encode tone of 141.3 Hz.
  4. Turn tone decode on if you do not want to hear the Morse ID every 10 minutes.
  5. Save the channel with a name like "MARCO South".

On-air etiquette

  • Listen before you transmit — the repeater may already be in use.
  • Identify with your callsign when you join and at least every ten minutes.
  • Depress PTT 2 seconds before talking to be heard completely on all connected Allstarlink Nodes.
  • Leave a gap between transmissions so emergency or priority traffic can break in.
  • Visitors are welcome — say your call and where you're operating from.
