WHAT IS IRLP

IRLP is a way of linking amateur radio repeater systems together without the use of RF links.

IRLP uses Voice-Over-IP (VOIP) custom software and hardware.

Coupled with the power of the Internet

IRLP can be uses to link repeater sites or simplex stations to the world in a simple cost effective way.

IRLP operates a worldwide network of dedicated servers and nodes offering very stable worldwide voice communications.

All this with unsurpassed uptimes and full dynamic range of telephone quality audio.

IRLP by design is a radio to radio system, not to be confused with Echolink witch is a keyboard to keyboard & radio to radio system.

IRLP and Echolink are not compatible, and are not designed to be cross linked.

A good example of an IRLP linked repeater system is the WALA network.

MCARG is a WALA Affiliated Repeater System.
