GB3OA runs EchoIRLP and consequently supports calls on both the IRLP and Echolink networks. Please be aware that it's an either / or situation, cross linking is not possible (or desirable). If a call is in progress using IRLP, then Echolink will appear busy (and vice versa).

To initiate a call to another IRLP node, simply dial that node's four digit number, to call an Echolink node, prefix the desired Echolink node number with a "#"

Can users please announce their callsigns when sending DTMF on the repeater.

There's nothing more irritating (and  bad mannered) than to listen to someone blasting away without knowing who it is. Please get into the habit of announcing your callsign before (or after) you send DTMF. It's really easy, just pick up the mic, announce "<insert you call here> controlling" then proceed to send the DTMF. It's a good habit to get into.

The repeater is being monitored, and any  excessive abuse or bad practice will result in the linking facility being withdrawn.

Please refer to the Linking Page for instructions on how to use the system.

GB3OA has the same node number (5302) on both systems.
