September 26, 2023: Michael Zolna KD6RFJ: An overview of the AllStar system

PLEASE NOTE: Our monthly general meeting is again IN-PERSON, as well as webcast on the internet. See the notes at the top of this page for details.

AllStarLink is a network of amateur radio repeaters, remote base stations, and hot spots accessible to each other via VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). AllStarLink runs on a dedicated computer, such as the Raspberry Pi or a PC. It's primary use is as a dedicated computer node wired to your repeater or radio. You can think of AllStar as an analog VOIP similar to EchoLlink.
