For affiliation with AllStarLink, the repeater system must be either fully open to use by all radio amateurs or at least partially open without subscription. Fully private repeater systems cannot be affiliated to AllStarLink. At this moment when I am writing this post, there are\u00a0 29,429 users and 28,701 nodes according to the AllStarLink website. Primary use of AllStarLink is as a dedicated computer node wired to a repeater or radio.
