To connect to an Echolink Node make node number 6 figures long with leading 0 s where needed and indicate it's an “Echolink” node with an extra leading 3 after usual connect sequence (* 3 )
For example to connect to 9999
* 3 3 0 0 9 9 9 9

Courtesy Tones
Can give information about the node status.
After a local Transmission on the “input” frequency the reponse will be one of:
- Morse Letter I (di-dit) = node is not connected to any other nodes
- Morse Letter R (di-dah-dit) = node is connected in “Monitor/RX only” mode to one or more nodes
- Morse Letter K (dah-di-dah) = node is connected in “Transceive” mode to one or more nodes
There are other tones, e.g. when a station on a linked node unkeys there's a low-pitched “bloop”
When a local RF station sends a command there's a “bip bip” (not to be confused with the Morse letter I)
Echolink
AllStar nodes can also connected to Echolink
My Echolink node is MB7AZE-L #879598
