Club repeaters exist under the call letters of W2VL, W2KPQ, WA2LQO, and NY2H. The W2KPQ call is assigned to five repeaters, the W2VL call is assigned to two repeaters, while the WA2LQO and NY2H calls each are assigned to a single repeater.

The multiple assigned calls break out as follows:
W2KPQ is assigned to two repeaters in Selden, one VHF FM and one UHF DMR.
W2KPQ is assigned to two repeaters in Plainview, one UHF FM and one UHF DMR.
W2KPQ is assigned to one FM repeater in Glen Oaks, in the 220 MHz band.
W2VL is assigned to two repeaters in Glen Oaks, one VHF FM, and the other, 1.2 GHz FM.

Internet Modes

Many of our repeaters allow calls to come in from internet sources, namely Echolink, IRLP, and Allstar.

However, our PIainview FM UHF repeater, W2KPQ (449.125MHz), allows for users of that repeater to establish connections to nodes on these internet networks using DTMF touchtones. You don’t have to be a member to use this, however your membership helps us to continue these services.

The Plainview repeater allows for outbound Echolink and IRLP connections. And now Allstar connections are available.

The protocol for IRLP remains the same.
1928 followed by the IRLP node number you wish to connect to. For example, to connect to IRLP node 9126 on the New England Reflector, you would send 19289126. When QSO is done, disconnect by sending 192873. Use this disconnect command regardless of the node number you connected to.

The protocol for Allstar is as follows:
Send *3 followed by the Allstar node number. For example, if you want to connect to the East Coast Reflector Allstar hub at node 27339, you would send *327339. To disconnect, you would send *10. Use this disconnect command regardless of the node number you connected to.

The protocol for Echolink has changed.
Allstar demands that all Echolink nodes begin with the numeral 3 and total 7 digits. This is how Allstar knows you want an Echolink node, rather than an Allstar node.

You start with the regular Echolink node number, and convert it for use on the Allstar node. So you start with a 3, then add as many zeroes as necessary to make the number 7 digits long. The “filler” zeroes come after the 3.

Here is an example. The Echolink test server is at node 9999. To convert this number, you need to preface the Echolink node number with a 3 followed by 6 digits. In other words, Echolink node numbers will all begin with a 3, and will total 7 digits.

In the case of the test server at node 9999, you would use 3009999. By adding the two zeros after the three, node 9999 becomes 3009999 and satisfies the seven digit requirement as well as the leading 3 requirement.

So, putting it all together, the *3 is the connect code, the 3009999 is the augmented Echolink node, so you would send *33009999. Any connection to an Allstar or an Echolink node begin with the connect code, which is *3.

Another example, if you wanted to connect to the K2SPD repeater system, you would look up it’s node number at https://www.echolink.org/validation/node_lookup.jsp.
The node number is 45717. To connect , you would send *33045717.  Again, the *3 is the connect code, the 2nd 3 satisfies the rule that all Echolink nodes via Allstar must begin with 3, and the single zero allows for the node number to occupy seven digits. To disconnect, you would send *10. Use this disconnect command regardless of the node number you connected to.  Note: This is the same disconnect code you would use to drop an Allstar connection.
