11  Repeaters are on the Raleigh Carolina 440 UHF Link System  full time covering 7,500 square miles  of mobile coverage.  The present total that can be linked on demand are 23 repeaters covering 23,000 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.  The UHF Systems EchoLink can hold up to 10 conference connections from users.  International stations are blocked and only United States, Iraq and Afghanistan connections can be made.  Entering TouchTone® 4 1 1 will give info over the air. 

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 (Urban Search and Rescue) Task Force 8 Communications Group.  

The Emergency auto patch * 911 is available to Raleigh 911 from all local RF systems.  The local area auto patch is available through user group membership in the Raleigh system.

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.
