Operating Etiquette
| Identify | Identify
your station before bringing up a link and after taking down a
link. IDs are required with any control commands. |
Slow down | IRLP is not as fast as simplex or local repeater contacts, therefore you must key your transmitter and wait for a moment before speaking. Otherwise the beginning of your transmission may not be heard. |
| Pause Pause Pause | Pause between transmissions! especially on Reflectors. Many repeaters run half duplex links to their IRLP node, therefore they can only disconnect between transmissions. Please wait for the courtesy tones, plus some. |
| Reflector? | IRLP nodes support only a single connection to another node or "Reflector." Reflectors support many incoming connections. Every node connected to the same reflector talks to every other node connected, i.e. a conference bridge type service. All reflector node numbers begin with 9. New operators should connect to 9200 or 9250 and call for a contact |
Some portions of these instructions were borrowed from the W9KD IRLP node instructions
