The radios and interface unit for the west end have been tested and work fine. The other night I built up a computer for the east end and tied all the gear together for that end. It is on line as "N7LXC-R" for testing purposes. Seems to be working fine. The next thing is the installation at both ends.
We are getting closer...
Echolink information. 12/12/2011
The N7LXC link system is announcing its link to the Amateur
Radio Software Echolink.
The port into our system for echolink is N7LXC-R and that
port is now validated and running 24/7. (just no radios yet 12/12/2011)
We do not have the radios tied into the system yet, but that
will be the next thing on the schedule. When we do have the radios interfaced,
anyone entering the system from echolink will be tied to the radios on both
sides of the mountains.
Example…
KD7RKP “Kristen” down near Graham, WA. could enter the
system on echolink to talk to her Dad KC7ZQE “Tom” at Boulder Creek. After
connecting to N7LXC-R with echolink, her voice will be transmitted out on the
radios at both Bothell & Cle Elum.
The Echolink tie
from the internet will be a closed port with validation required by emailing n7lxc@hotmail
for access permission. This validation is only to keep the radio system from
getting heavy use and wear and tear on our system. We are not trying to have a
“private” system. The “regular” existing users are already validated. If
you find your call is not… please email n7lxc@hotmail.com
This will be a
big improvement to the system for many users. It will also clear up some
problems we have been having with the 440 path from Shoreline to Cle Elum.
The present
radio link "backbone" from Shoreline to Cle Elum will remain as is for backup purposes in
case of disaster and loss of the internet. (It would then be turned back on) This website will be updated when the
radios are interfaced.
Feel free to
play with the echolink port even though the radios are not interfaced yet. If
Mike is in the shack he will talk to anyone testing the echolink port.
Echolink can be downloaded at http://www.echolink.org/
You will have to send them a copy of your Ham license to be validated on echolink before you can use it.
