My Echolink RF link station consists of a Kenwood TM-V71 dual band transeciver. This radio is interfaced to a home built computer (i7-3770S @ 3.10GHz, Windows 7).
The Antenna is a Comet CX-333 tri band vertical mounted on the roof of my home.
My node number is: 492710
I use an operating frequency of 145.540 (151.4PL)
I keep the station on the air 24/7 with some down time when I am using the radio to cross band.
I normally run the Kenwood at full power (50W) and at this power level, I have reliable coverage within 30 miles of my home.
