12 Repeaters are on the Raleigh Carolina 440 UHF Link System full time covering 8,500 square miles of mobile coverage. The present total that can be linked on demand are 24 repeaters covering over 24,000 sq. miles.
IRLP Node 4270 Used for Emergency Reflector 921 Channel 0 for local linking to repeaters outside the RF coverage. Point to Point IRLP Linking can also be done; user access codes can be requested from repeater trustees, group membership or CLICK HERE. This VoIP technology can also be used with the emergency communications vehicles such as the CISCO, Network Emergency Response Vehicles (NERV). See a video at this hyper link: Cisco NERV in Johnston County.
The UHF Link System also has EchoLink, Node
42704 and it is available to connect with other repeater systems in the
US. The Raleigh System requires a prefix code of 4 # Then the
normal node number all in one stream.
EchoLink is used by the Incident
Communications Systems (ICS) Mobile Command Vehicles to connect to Amateur
Radio Stations in the area or in the field with on board radios and wireless
communications by VoIP and VSAT Satellite links using the TICS (Tactical
Incident Communication System). The ICS TICS equipment (staffed by Chris,
KJ4EST) also includes a amateur tactical suitcase repeater for the 70cm (440
MHz) band and can be linked on request to the Carolina440
System or the VOIPWX Net via Satellite for EMCOMM, Disaster Recovery or
Public Service events. See more info on ICS at this web site: http://www.incidentcommunications.com
The KD4RAA-K4JDR Repeater Group has given technical support to ICS and work
closely in its Amateur Radio involvement in the amateur two-way radio equipment
and amateur VoIP technology.
The Cisco club repeater 444.075+ 100 PL is at RTP on the Cisco Building and on
the Carolina 440 Link System providing additional technological abilities with
Cisco including IPICS technology.
The repeaters are also used for local and regional Emergency
Communications involving
State ARES ,
NWS / SKYWARN programs , (Community
Emergency Response Team) CERT programs and Amateurs in the Public Safety Sector of
NC
CERT (Canine Emergency Response Team) and NC USAR

Carolina 440 Linking Plans
for Interoperable Communications
(
Voice Interoperability System for Amateur Radio )
The
441.725+ 100 PL repeater
is the Backbone Hub for the Carolina 440 UHF Link System and Emergency
VoIP system (IRLP)® and (EchoLink)®, its controller is
what supports the auto patch and other advanced functions for the Carolina 440
Link System.
This system is what we call our Voice Interoperability System for
Amateur
Radio, VISAR©.
We have provided a list of the "Repeaters
on the Link" with their geographical
location to guide you on what
repeater would be best for you,
based on your location.
The future plans
are to link several more UHF repeaters by RF Link and use the Voice
Over IP Link systems on demand to further
extend the link system out of its RF Coverage during emergencies. There
are three systems that can be linked
all together, the Coastal Link System Hub repeater is in Clinton.
The Down East Link
System Hub repeater is located in Kinston. See the repeater
list for the frequencies that will be on the system.
Experimentation
on other UHF linking possibilities will take place and it is subject to change.
We
are going to try and cover as much as we can to the Raleigh Backbone Hub.
Our
YAHOO User Group
site has a lot of pictures and technical files, you will have to sign into
Yahoo
with a user password and you do not have to be a member of our Repeater
Group to view these pages.
