 This type of link is preferred when only one or two repeaters are linked together. You will need to enter the following information: This type of link is preferred when only one or two repeaters are linked together. You will need to enter the following information:
  
 +  - Persistence: This is the nature of the link. Is it full-time, part-time, linkable, or On-Demand? Choose "full-time" if the repeaters are always linked to each other. Select full-time of they are only linked part of the time, such as for nets. Select linkable if there is a pre-configured link that a repeater sysop can activate to link the repeater. Select On-Demand if the repeater linking can be completed by someone other than a sysop via a DTMF code, for example. 
 +  - Reciprocity: Is the repeater transmitting and receiving the other repeater in full-duplex? If it is just listening to the other repeater, this is half-duplex and that option should be selected. 
 +  - Internet-Linked: If the repeater is RF-linked, select No. It's helpful to know if the repeater is Internet-linked as those links tend to be more fragile during serious natural disasters. Internet links tend to be linking via IRLP, EchoLink, AllStar, and WIRES. 
 +  - State/Province: Which state or province is the repeater be linked to assigned to?  
 +  - Repeater ID: is the repeater ID of the repeater. This can be located by searching for the repeater and viewing its Detail page. Under the menu is a header that includes the repeater's location and call sign in bold, large font. Under that is the "Repeater ID." This is a set of characters followed by a dash followed by numbers. The Repeater ID is the portion after the dash. For example 48-**12345**, the value 12345 is what is desired. 
 +  - Display as: indicates how the link will be displayed on the Details page. Location, Frequency is preferred for a repeater in the United States. All other parts of the world tend to provide an independent call sign for a repeater and selecting "Call Sign, Frequency" may be the preferred display.
