As of 0800 this morning, W8RNL Port C is linked to Reflector 1C. This is a very common setup - There are 18 Repeaters linked to Reflector 1C at this time. Many repeaters link there 24/7. If you want to link your repeater to a different Reflector (i.e. REF002), you first must UNLINK W8RNL C from Reflector 1C, then LINK W8RNL C to the new Repeater or Reflector. Once you are finished, remember to return the Linking to Reflector 1C. Before you do any of this, check with the administrator of W8RNL to see if they allow you to do this. > I think I got all that down - BUT I just dont understand what a > reflector is or does and how to make it work I guess that is the > real question here!. > A Reflector is a conference bridge that allows multiple REPEATERS to be linked into a single conversation. Anything transmitted on any linked repeater is heard on ALL linked repeaters. 73 Hank - KI4UMX
