'''PSR AllStar Node #: 2462'''



----
To use your cell phone (or a land-line), away from the repeater, do the following:

1) Register as a 'Normal User' account and/or login using your FCC issued call at: [https://allstarlink.org/ https://allstarlink.org/].

2) Once you're logged in to AllStarLink.org, go to your [https://allstarlink.org/portal/account.php Account Profile]. 

3) If your e-mail/call has been validated you will see "Your Callsign is Validated"; '''Make a note of the 10 digit Secure PIN Number''' Henceforth called 'PIN'.

4) Calling into the node:

    - Use phone (in Speaker mode) to [dial]: '''(763)230-0000'''
    - When prompted [dial]: '''2462#'''
    - [dial] '''1''' (for Node access)
    - [dial] '''PIN'''
    - [dial] '''2''' (for Function Operated Access)
    - You will be dialed in to the Node
    - Bring up the keypad on your phone (if cellular)
    - [dial] '''*99 to initiate PTT'''
    - Say what you want and clear w/ your call.
    - [dial] '''# when done speaking''' (to release PTT)

Remember to be in a noise-free environment as your mic will pick up more room noise in 'speaker mode' also try and remain 6-12" away from the mic, too close will over-mod and too far will be too hollow.

If willing, try programming the phone number, as a contact, into your mobile. 
In a dial-string you can add Pause (2 sec) and Wait (wait for you to click to continue dialing). It's been attempted (w/ success) on an iPhone as follows:

 Name: PSR AllStar
 Number: 7632300000,,,,2462#;1;XXX,YYY,ZZZZ,,2

Where:
 , = :02 second pause
 ; = wait (for human intervention)
 XXXYYYZZZZ = PIN
