IMRS

Internet-linked Multiple Repeater System

 

The MSRL (Multi Site Repeater Link) allows repeater operators to link multiple
repeaters over a Wide-Area-Network (WAN) or Local-Area-Network (LAN) across short
or long distances. Realizing the reliability shortcomings inherent with WAN (Wide Area Networking) such as the internet, the new DR-2X/DR-2XE incorporates direct connectivity into a variety of networking environments to provide high quality Digital and Analog communications even when “All Else Fails” .

 

LAN Link Your DR-2X Repeater

Contact: ab7cq@ebidpal.com

 

If you own a DR-2X repeater and would be interested in LAN linking, contact me at: ab7cq@ebidpal.com.

 

An IMRS digital LAN link is now active between the Tombstone 444.600/449.600 PL100.0 repeater and the WJ9K repeater in Harrison, WI. (Appleton). For information & possible cooperative linking with the Arizona LAN, contact AB7CQ at: ab7cq@ebidpal.com.

 

If you own a Yaesu Fusion digital transceiver & in range of our IMRS LAN repeater, you're invited to use the repeater. Email me at: ab7cq@ebidpal.com to request codes.

 

When In The State Of Arizona Make Sure That Your APRS Equipped Transceiver Is Properly Configured So You Only Transmit APRS Beacons On 144.390, 445.925, & 10.151 Mhz.

 

Consult Your State Frequency Coordination Committee Band Plan Regarding APRS Beacons. Tranmitting APRS Beacons On Any Other Frequency Can Cause Interference To Repeaters And Other Amateur Radio Communications. Also, Consult The Operating Manual That Came With Your APRS Equipped Transceiver.

*******************************************

This website is always being updated and I will be adding new sections of interest for amateur radio operators. Please forgive my spelling mistakes, the webpage editor used in the construction of this webpage didn't have a built-in wordprocessor and niether does my old tired brain. I will correct mistakes as time goes by and update pages in the webite as I have available time.

 

To begin, my name is Bob Krueger, I live in Tombstone, Arizona, I'm disabled and retired. I was licensed in 1980 as an amateur radio operator and currently hold an Extra Class amateur radio license, I was originally issued the call of N9BKJ in 1980.

 

Before retiring to Tombstone, Arizona my wife and I lived in Waupaca, WI. While living in Waupaca, WI I owned and operated the N9BKJ 2M repeater, I ran the Central Wisconsin Packet Radio Hub, I was a member of the the Wisconsin Assocation of Repeaters (WAR) and Wisconsin Packet Radio Association (WAPR), and I was the Waupaca County EC and RACES Officer until I relinguished those duties.

 

In March of 2000 my wife and I relocated to Tombstone, AZ. In 2014 I established the AB7CQ IRLP Node in Tombstone, AZ for the amateur radio community to enjoy, IRLP stands for Internet Radio Linking Project. My IRLP node number is 7515 operating on 146.540 Mhz Simplex, no offset, PL 114.8, the node is on 24 hours a day. There may be times when the node is off line for maintenance, it will return to service as quickly as possible. I hope that area hams will take advantage of the AB7CQ IRLP node. Obviously, proper operating etiquette is required when using the node, and those using the node are subject to conduct themselves in accordance with FCC rules and regulations as they pertain to amateur radio.

 

Obviously, you must be a licensed amateur radio operator to gain access to any IRLP node. 

 

No membership or dues of anykind are required to access and use any systems I provide for the Amateur Radio Community, please enjoy them, obviously, you must be a licensed AMATEUR RADIO OPERATOR. I hope these systems will also attract prospective Hams to consider joining the ranks of over 800,000 Amateur Radio operators in the United States.

 

Have fun and enjoy.
