[HATS] Re: Linking repeaters-best technology-best security-least hassles

[Dean Andrewjeski]

I fully agree with Ralph's opinion regarding the IRLP system. It's a great
system!

We set up a node last fall for our local ham club repeater group and it's been
working great
since day one.

This is an excellent means to conduct (voice only at present) ATV nets around
the US and the World.
