GEARS UHF Repeater AllStarLink Upgrade

Glenn Maclean, WA7SPY  ·  Monthly Club Meeting, August 17, 2026  ·  14 slides

How the UHF East repeater's permanent WIN System link was replaced with AllStarLink node 56934 under W6RHC, and what that means for members: the node can now connect to repeaters and hotspots anywhere, the WIN System included, instead of being tied to one full-time connection. Also covers the DTMF commands for connecting, checking status and disconnecting from your own radio, and how authorized CERT operators can drop the internet link before a net or an emergency while the repeater keeps working locally.

Questions about node 56934? Email the club and we will pass them along.
