Repeater Linking

Repeaters can be linked together by way of many different modes. This may include RF, EchoLink, AllStar, etc. This article is not intended for DMR linking.

Repeaters may be linked to a single repeater, multiple repeaters, or a simplex frequency. Repeaterbook tracks this linking and displays it back on a repeaters Detail page with links so that users can quickly navigate to the Detail pages of each of the repeaters and learn about the nature of the linking. If a repeater linking system has been created, clicking on the name of the linked system open a new search window that displays all of the repeaters in that system, including an option to map the system.

Admins and repeater custodians can manage the repeater linking information. Only repeaters that are linked routinely should be listed. This is not intended for dynamic links between repeaters, like a temporary link between to EchoLink repeaters.

To add a link to a repeater, go to the repeater's Detail page and click the “SUBMIT UPDATE” menu item. Click the submenu item to “MANAGE LINKS”. A pop-up window appear with three options to select from:

  • Link to Repeater
  • Link to System
  • Link to Simplex

This type of link is preferred when only one or two repeaters are linked together. You will need to enter the following information:
