VKLink: 1335
Usage: Available for general use.
Notes: This channel is full duplex capable on all codecs. The standard IRLP code for connecting to reflectors doesn't support full duplex. However, if your hardware supports full duplex, and you know how to write a custom_decode entry to connect full duplex to the reflector, you're more than welcome to experiment. Echolink doesn't support full duplex, to my knowledge. Third party implementations may vary.
