Tim - As far as the RH256 radios with enough modification they can be set up to work as simplex link radios for Echolink or IRLP. Both radios will encode and decode CTCSS tones. The RH256 will require some component changes and a complete retuning / alignment. The RH256NB model may be able to be retuned and realigned to 2 meters without component changes. In order to get the appropriate signals from the RH256 / RH256NB you will have to dive into the radio to get most of your signals since neither radio came with any kind of auxiliary connector. E-mail me direct if you need further. 73's NC4AB

I am getting ready to move to Rolla, Missouri and I want to set up my IRLP node there in town. I have two Relm or Regency radios a RH256B and a RH256NB that I want to create two mini repeaters with. One for Echolink and one for IRLP on VHF. First question that I have is does anyone know how that I can use these radios as mini repeaters, and does anyone know how that I can wire these to work with the IRLP software? I understand that these can be programmed to work with CTCSS tones, but I'm not sure how to set these up to work with the tones that IRLP requires. . <http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97359714/grpId=104168/grpspId=1705063108/msgId= 66941/stime=1164993596>
