How to talk on 435

Radio frequency (RF)

Output: 147.435 MHz (optional PL 103.5 squelch)

Additional Inputs:
223.630 MHz   PL 103.5

All inputs mix allowing several people to talk at the same time; it’s beautiful chaos!

We duplex, quick key, keep each transmission short and interject with comments while others are talking.

Echolink — We were Banned
(you know what to do)

4/2/2017 Roger Bly: 435 was banned by Echolink due to our use of gutter parlance language which the FCC now allows. See N6BHU decision

  • Node 747565 K6MWT-R   (Offline as of 4/2/2017)
  • 435 and Roger were banned by Echolink on April 2, 2017 due to a #6 violation of their loosely defined guidelines.  It seems the gutter parlance language that the FCC now allows on the Amateur Radio service is not acceptable to Echolink.  
  • However, Echolink is a private service and can ban anyone for any reason. We accept that even though we feel their policy is misguided.
  • We will continue to say “fuck you mother fucker”, etc. on our repeater as is now allowed by the FCC per the N6BHU decision; as long as it does not appeal to prurient interests. Thank you BHU brother for moving us forward towards reinventing amateur radio.

Allstar Link

  • 1/14/2025 Roger Bly: Currently switched off; keeping it local RF only for now. I would like to experiment with a “Wold-wide Wednesday” where 435 Allatar is open open to all.

Private Internet VoIP

  • 1/14/2025 Roger Bly: Currently switched off. Considering providing individual access to former 435ers who moved out of repeater RF range.
  • Asterisk — Private IAX user clients and repeater links.
  • To request access, email roger@rogerbly.com.
  • Once you have been given credentials, connect using a free phone/computer IAX application such as Zoiper.
  • Instructions on setting up Zoiper for 435 are here.
