Operating Etiquette

IdentifyIdentify 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
