Those with a valid FCC license are
invited to use the GMRS repeater on a temporary basis such as while on
vacation or visiting the area. This is what
we mean by "Open System". This is a multiple toned input system so keep in
mind there could be other family user tones in use. Regular users can
request a unique ctcss tone to keep their group radios quiet if they wish.
Regular and frequent usage requires permission. Please contact WQJG975 or WQEZ987 on the air or send a note to info *at* k4rpt *dot* com.
GMRS users should read and follow our
simple
guidelines for acceptable use and operation.

442.400 repeater
system is open to all licensed amateurs and you are encouraged to use it.
A detailed command sheet is available for regular users once we get to know you.
We run
EchoIRLP and a prefix
digit is required depending on the service you wish to use. IRLP commands need to be prefaced with a "C" on this
system. To connect to a node or reflector, key the repeater and hit C plus
the four digit ID
(Cxxxx) and un-key. When finished use C73 to disconnect. For Echolink the prefix is "CA".
To connect hit CA + the node number. Use C73 to disconnect Echolink as
well. The recommended practice is wait a minute or two when first coming on
the repeater and then do a C#0 to speak the node status before issuing a connect
command. A friendly control operator is almost always around so if you
need help, just ask. Note that Echolink PC clients are not allowed on this
system without prior authorization. If you are new to the world VOIP and Amateur Radio, familiarize
yourself by visiting the
Echolink and
IRLP sites.
There is also a wealth of information out there that can be had by surfing
around with your friend
Google.

All Repeaters have been
constructed with an emphasis on storm survivability. While we
cannot guarantee this, considerable effort and expense has gone into making
the repeaters a viable means to communicate when landlines and mobile
telephone networks are unavailable or overloaded. Our equipment is housed
in a carrier grade facility complete with diesel generator and multiple redundant
internet pipes delivered on underground fiber. Many system parameters are
monitored utilizing computer automation and can be controlled over a secure
connection.
