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 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 optionally connected as desired by the repeater owner.  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.

Are you wondering why hams might find TRBO to be or 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.  Please keep in mind that we are more a word-of-mouth group in spite of our web presence here.  Our web presence is primarily to allow members a central location to go to stay current and get proprietary operational information.  We expect members to follow the TRBO-6 radio ID and Talkgroup plan and to operate in accordance with our guidelines.  While we are somewhat flexible on radio ID programming, our Talkgroup plan must be followed.

If you are a UHF MotoTRBO user and wish to become a member one of our local IPSC repeaters, then check out our Member Information Page.  While we are not expressly an open repeater group, nor are we closed.  The decision is made by the local repeater owners as to who may use their repeater and to what extent that use will pass through to the larger IPSC network.  Any emergency or priority traffic trumps our normal requirements of course.

If you are a TRBO repeater owner operating in the Amateur service in digital mode and wish to explore affiliating with our IPSC network, 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.

If you have a non-Ham MotoTRBO repeater operating in digital mode, either testing off the air or otherwise available for network testing and you wish to explore IPSC, several of our owners are expressed a willingness to temporarily join your network. Typically this would be a scheduled connection so it is best that your repeater be located VERY conveniently to facilitate Codeplug changes and be up on the Internet in Master mode. Please write to us at TRBO-6 Core Goup and include a non-Yahoo Email address.

MotoTRBO system security is troublesome and problematic.  Having repeaters connected via the Internet compounds efforts to maintain control of and access to the local repeaters and wider network.  For these reasons among others, we require all users to comply with our radio and Talk Group ID plan when operating on IPSC Time Slots.  Users are not allowed to operate on non-standard radio ID's nor on unpublished Talkgroups.  If this does occur, it must be with the knowledge and permission of the local repeater owner.  All other repeater owners are to be informed, ahead of such use or a soon as reasonable possible thereafter.  The information must include the users Calls, radio ID numbers, Talkgroup ID numbers, why they are needed and for how long.
