TRBO-6 IPSC Network

The Pub Page

The primary purpose for this website is to support our repeater users and repeater owners.  But we also wish to share what we have learned about TRBO and what we are doing with TRBO.  We have left behind the membership or club approach and moving to an open group effort to play and learn TRBO.

If you are interested in using our machines, joining the network with your repeater or sharing connections on our c-Bridge or "bridge-to-bridge", check out DCI Linking.

We suggest joining our MotoTRBO USA Yahoogroup also if you are interested in MotoTRBO generally.

We are Hams, friends, radio professionals and hobbyists. We all are interested in maximizing our IPSC knowledge and experience.  But we also like to rag-chew, FM style. Most of our repeaters have only a few users though several have 5-20 regular users, so our network is not yet busy. We use a Talk Group known as "Comm 1" on Time Slot 1 as our main "channel" for network activity while Time Slot 2 is reserved for local repeater activity and not generally connected to the network, though even this is changing as the c-Bridge is taking on more control of the network(s).  We are not like EchoLink and are not out to talk to the world for the sake of a contact, at least not as a primary endeavor, though it can have it's moments.   We welcome visitors to stop by on Comm 1 if you have a TRBO radio.  Echolink (AKA TRBO-Link) is available on our IPSC network and makes a fine Internet streaming option for iPhones and computers.

Are you wondering why hams might find TRBO to be of some value to hams in the digital world?  Read On...

Check out our Repeater Listing Page for a better idea of where we are located and to make contact with a local repeater owner as well as the Simplex modes.  We encourage our repeater users to follow the GSM-ID (DMR/GSM) and to operate in accordance with our guidelines.  This helps us ensure a smooth and seamless operation across the multiple networks that are now inter-connected.  DCI is now publishing a Multi-Network TRBO Codeplug which can help in getting new users up on TRBO machines in the USA.

If you are a MotoTRBO user and wish to use one of our local IPSC repeaters, then check out our User Information Page.  While we are primarily an open repeater group, our local repeater owners have a voice in how they operate their repeaters.  But all owners have agreed to allow open use of Comm 1 by visiting and traveling hams .  Any emergency or priority traffic or scheduled operations trumps our normal requirements of course.

If you are a TRBO repeater owner operating in the Amateur service in full time digital mode and wish to explore affiliating with our IPSC network or via the c-Bridge, then go to our repeater affiliation page.  We would hope that prospective new member repeaters would fit in with our style of Ham radio and IPSC network operation.
