Explain nodes to me please.
I have a repeater that uses a node out of Salt Lake City, I can hear it really well and listen to guys from all over the western half of the US. From my understanding I could use something on the computer to access the node and I can also type the node number into my radio key pad to access it. Is this correct? Not able to transmit just yet so I'm just listening. |

EchoLink is the most common.
An internet based system... repeaters have an available connection to the internet, and through that connection can then connect to other stations. So an internet-connected user can access a repeater via the internet, or you can access a repeater with echolink available over the air, and direct a connection to another echolink-connected station or repeater (via DTMF commands typically). |
