Repeater
The club's repeater is an analog FM repeater with call sign VE3RAG on 147.000 MHz and requires a 156.7 Hz tone for access. This repeater has IRLP (node # 2039) and Echolink (node # 731301) using EchoIRLP software running on a Raspberry Pi 2 computer. This repeater is located on a high point in Barrie, and provides excellent coverage within the city and extends into many communities surrounding the City of Barrie.

The EchoIRLP was recently updated to a Raspberry Pi computer. To call an IRLP node, no prefix is required; to call an Echolink node, a prefix of "#" is required. To disconnect from a node, "73" is used.
