The Internet Repeater Linking Project aims to reliably and inexpensively link amateur radio systems without the use of RF links, leased lines, or satellites.
The IRLP uses Voice-Over-IP (VoIP) custom software and hardware.
IRLP operates a worldwide network of dedicated servers and nodes offering very stable worldwide voice communications between hundreds of towns and cities. All this with unsurpassed uptimes and the full dynamic range of telephone quality audio.
Excerpt from the IRLP website.
Node 6110 is sponsored by CRARC and is currently operational on the 439.950 Mhz repeater on Isaacs Ridge.

Operational Codes
IRLP
Node 6110 responds to the standard IRLP DTMF code set. To connect the node to another node you simply key up and transmit the destination node number via DTMF. A list of destinations may be found on the IRLP Website.
The node may also be connected to a reflector. A reflector allows multiple nodes to connect to it simultaneously and retransmits what it receives from any one node to all others connected. All reflector node numbers start with a ‘9’ with the last digit of the number being a channel on that reflector. For example node 9509 refers to reflector 9500 channel 9. There are ten channels on each reflector, numbered 0 to 9 and nodes connected to different channels do not hear each other. To hear another node connected to the reflector you must be connected to the same channel.
EchoLink
Node 6110 also supports the EchoLink network as ‘VK1RBM-R’ (Node 150524).
To connect to an EchoLink station via the node you send via DTMF the station number prefixed with a ‘*’ (star). For example, to connect to the *AUSSIE* EchoLink conference server you would send, via DTMF, *95092.
A list of EchoLink stations and conferences can be obtained from your favourite EchoLink client, or from the G4EID-KM8H Status Pages.
Disconnecting
To disconnect an IRLP or EchoLink connection simply send 73 via DTMF.
Feature Codes
The node supports a number of features other than just linking two repeaters.
Active Features
Active features are activated by sending a ‘#’ then the feature number via DTMF. Currently the following features are supported;
| #0 (or 0000) | Node Id |
| #1 | Node Status |
| #2 | Local Time |
| #3 | UTC Time |
