AllStar Link is an internet-linked amateur radio system that connects repeaters, simplex nodes, and base stations using VoIP. It is based on the Asterisk PBX platform and is often run on small computers such as a Raspberry Pi connected to a radio interface. Each station is a “node” with a unique number, and these nodes can be linked together over the internet.
From a user’s perspective, it works much like a normal FM repeater. You transmit on your radio, the local node receives your audio, and it is repeated locally while also being sent over the network if linked. Remote nodes can then retransmit that audio on RF, effectively extending your range far beyond a single repeater.
Control is usually done with DTMF tones. You can connect to a node using a command like star three plus the node number, for example star three 123456. Once connected, you operate normally by talking and listening as you would on any repeater. To disconnect, star one is commonly used, though exact commands can vary by setup.
In practice, you mostly just use it like a standard repeater, but with the added ability to connect into a much larger network of linked repeaters worldwide whenever you choose.

AllStar World node Map.
The AllStarLink node Google Map is an interactive web-based map that shows the geographic locations of registered and (when enabled) active AllStarLink nodes around the world.
It is important to note that the Google Map does not necessarily reflect real-time status. A node may appear on the map even if it is offline, inactive, or not currently linked to anything. Its purpose is to show registered infrastructure rather than live network connections.
