Either System can be linked into the Echo-Link system via a Multiport repeater controller.  The 2m Transceiver is constantly linked with the Computer system.

According to some articles I found on the Internet, it is legal to retransmit NOAA weather alerts and other public alert messages. This applies to alert messages only! It is not legal to re-transmit regular scheduled  weather information. This is something one could simply receive on Amateur Radio gear that covers the Weather Radio channels.

The repeater port can be linked together with the simplex transceiver and Echo-Link port. In this way HAM's that have only 2m available can talk to users on the repeater. Repeater user can also use the SVXLINK-Link system through the repeater. There is a slight difference in usage, due to the enabled DTMF mute feature, DTMF tones don't reach the SVXLINK-Link port directly. Received tones are regenerated and then send to the SVXLINK-Link. This is only on the repeater side of the system. To access and use the SVXLINK-Link from the repeater, you would have to link all ports first DTMF (52) from the repeater side. Once successfully linked your transmission will appear on the Host Computer and on the 2m simplex side. To send DTMF to the Link Computer, you would have to use a pound sign DTMF (#) preceding any SVXLINK-LINK command. ex.: #2D29# entered from the repeater while all ports are connected, would activate the Echo-Link module and connect to the Echo-Link Test Server. To disconnect: DTMF #(send to port 3) #(Disconnect Node(s)) #(De-activate Echolink) e.g. DTMF (###) would disconnect and deactivate Echo-Link
