To avoid confusion, the relevant web pages (Repeater Details and Internet Linking) have been changed to specify the various timeouts on OA.
They are:
- RF to RF – five minutes (the errant PTT has to be opened to reset the timer)
- IRLP and Echolink – four minutes, and disconnection of the distant end
Echolink will also specify an error code if the txm is more than four minutes – a link to all OA error codes can be found on the Internet Linking page.
THE STREAM: this is now fully up to spec again and running normally. It can easily be listened to throughout the world by going to http://shoutcast.com and searching for GB3OA.
