Please note that the analog and digital sides of the repeater are discrete. Analog users will not hear any digital traffic and vice versa.
You are welcome to and encouraged to change the Wires-X or Allstar room at will. Wires-X will default back after 30 minutes of a lack of local digital traffic. Allstar will need to be manually disconnected. If you’d like web access to change the Allstar room, let us know.
Nets:
Thursday at 8:00pm EST – Any and all are welcome to join via analog RF, Allstar, or Echolink. This is immediately followed by a Zoom meeting. The weekly link for this can be found on the MSU ARC Discord page. Net control rotates between MSU ARC student, alumni, and friend of the club members.
