FM Repeaters

The Atlanta Radio Club operates FM repeaters on the 144, 222, and 440 bands. The Club's flagship repeaters, are located atop the Bank of America building in Atlanta, the world's sixtieth tallest building.  While anyone may use our repeaters membership is encouraged to support our world-class repeater system.

IRLP

The Atlanta Radio Club operates IRLP node 4550 is shared by repeaters.  We operate an open node and welcome visiting hams to use this feature.  Incoming IRLP connections will go to the 146.820 repeater by default.

The most important site for information about IRLP is at http://www.irlp.net so please review that page carefully.

IRLP – Node 4550 Instructions

1- By default, the IRLP node is on 146.820. Therefore, if you are using the IRLP system on 146.820, proceed to step 2. If you need to use IRLP on 444.825, for example if there is currently a conversation on 146.820, wait for a break in the conversation, ask for permission to control, and run macro 563 to disconnect the IRLP system from 146.820. Then, go over to 444.825, and run macro 566 to connect the IRLP system to 444.825. Then, proceed to step 2.

2 – Dial the IRLP node you wish to use:
D#### (D and the node number) connects you to IRLP Node ####. Example D6572 connects to our sister club, VK3ATL the Geelong ARC in Australia.

3 – To disconnect the remote system, dial D73 – End IRLP session. From here you can connect to another node or end your session. If you are on 146.820, please ignore step 4.

4 – If you have moved the IRLP link over to 444.825, please disconnect the IRLP system from 444.825 by running macro 567, then run macro 562 on 146.820.
