On 13 August 2023, I went to the 9V1RMP Repeater Site to do maintenance and install the new Motorola transmitter and receiver as the old Icom FR6000 Finals blew.

I arrived at the site at about 1500 hours when the scheduled time was 1500 hours. Warmly welcomed by the Repeater Host, 9V1BH, Victor, on-site.

As the Repeater and AllStarLink node was already configured at my place and tested on a test frequency for 2 weeks, the whole unit was ready to plug and play. Still, it required port forwarding, confirmation that the links were set up correctly and no RFI when testing.

While installing the new repeater, I requested the Repeater Host to forward three ports to the Pi.

  1. Port 32023 TCP for SSH 
  2. Port 5038 TCP for AllStarLink system Information and control
  3. Port 4569 UDP for AllStarLink Incoming
Did some testing by connecting to 9V1RS AllStar Node Number 557661, which is connected to 9V1RS-R EchoLink Node Number 288051, 9V1FH AllStar Node Number 547120 and 9V1FH-L EchoLink Node Number 971340.  

All was working when I left the Repeater Site at 1700 Hours.
