Locking down a repeater system has always seemed like the exact opposite of
what ham radio should be.  Give our Handiham noon net a try on the w1afv
node, 39980, noon USA Central time, 18:00 GMT, Monday through Saturday.  It
connects to an open repeater here in the Twin Cities.  There is also a
Monday night net:

147.39 FM and EchoLink, 19:00 United States Central Time Mondays: Use your
EchoLink search function and look for W1AFV. Connect from any
Internet-enabled computer in the world, and come out on Twin Cities repeater
K0JE on 147.39. The node is open to multiple connections. Everyone welcome!

73,

one funny thing I notice is our Toronto repeaters that have echolink access
are so tightly protected with dtmf codes and pl tones, it's as if they don't
welcome general use of their link. Thank god I've got a computer gateway in
to it so I'm not controlled by these people. It amazes me when I hear about
others around the country who use echolink on two meters and seventy
centimetres so freely. Here in Toronto if you don't belong to some stupid
club that noone's ever heard of accept it's lifeless members, you're S.O.L.
unless you've got a pc.Then it's even worst with Irlp because noone wants to
leave the reflector opened and unsupervised and I've often felt ockerward
about tying up a local repeater especially a popular one. All the best,
va3kky.
