Welcome to the PTTLink Wiki

PTTLink is a world wide network of Amateur Radio repeaters, remote base stations and hot spots accessible to each other via the Internet and/or private IP networks.

PTTLink/AllStarLink runs on a dedicated Linux computer (including the Raspberry Pi) that you host at your home, radio site, clubhouse, school, university, workplace, or computer center.

It is based on the open source Asterisk PBX and is released under the GNU GPL -- it is free for anyone to use.

The core of PTTLink is the powerful app_rpt application and associated modules that load into the Asterisk PBX system which is released under the GPL v2 license.

System Status Dashboard

Note: PTTLink is an "overlay" of the original AllStarLink network before the unannounced fork that occurred on 19 December 2020. You can use your existing AllStarLink credentials to login (unless they were changed).

You can read more about this fork and why PTTLink was formed here: [PTTLink and the forking of the AllStarLink Network]
