About IRLP Repeater Project
The IRLP Repeater Project started a couple of years ago when Dave VE7LTD wanted to show how the IRLP hardware and software along with a couple of additional programs, a receiver and transmitter could be transform a node into a full-fledged repeater system. Actually, the Version 3 IRLP interface boards is what really made it easy. With the AUX outputs, it was easier for the various control programs to control the PTT in a more sane fashion.
All the cool scripts that provide additional functions to IRLP are used by IRLP Repeater as well. Yes, you can use the Time announcements, Wx Report announcement, PlayNews, record special announcements, schedule special events, etc.
Like IRLP, the IRLP Repeater Project is only limited by your imagination and programming skills. If your skills are lacking, then perhaps others can come up with a solution, just as in IRLP.
