4/9/2011 NOTE: Our Echolink node is currently down, it will soon be replaced with a directly connected Echo/IRLP node.

Echolink is up and running as a remote node on the repeater.

Our node number is 64300 (KC2RA-R), and is open to all Echolink stations.

Many people have asked about the configuration of the node, and the equipment used.

Currently, the Echolink station consists of an Icom IC-2400A dualbander (UHF as control) running 5 watts into a Diamond SG7900A Super Gainer antenna.

This is interfaced to the computer using a design from the ARRL HF Digital Handbook with added audio isolation transformers and pot level controls. This interface still needs a small enclosure, if you have one you would like to donate please make contact.

The computer is a VIA C3 ITX diskless system (2GB of fast Compact Flash serves as a hard drive) with no moving parts, running nLite'd Windows XP Pro.

Of course any of the components or the entire system could change if other equipment becomes available.
