There are Internet Gateways located in Ireland also all over the world now on 2Mtrs, 70Cms and 6Mtrs that any licensed amateur can have access to. Many of the gateways use the EchoLink software. No repeater shift is required, and no access tones are needed. The gateway operates a simple squelch system, which means any signal on the frequency will be accepted. In the future if more internet gateways become operational, and QRM becomes more of a problem, some gateways may have to resort to CTCSS tone squelch.
The gateway is very easy to use. You use it as you would any simplex frequency and call CQ and you will be surprised who might come back to you as there are gateways all over the world. Remember that there can be a delay from the station that you are working and don’t forget to wait for the pips after there over before to transmit.
Not all gateways are on 24 Hrs so check with your local gateway keeper for their operation times.

XMIT_ID allows you to record and catalogue the unique "fingerprint" that is part of every FM radio's transmission. This can be used for transmitter identification.
