Hi Members,
I thought so, but it's good to get an actual ruling.

Subject: [WIA-NEWS] Foundation Amateurs can operate IRLP

A question has arisen as to the interpretation of the Determination amending
the Amateur LCD affecting Foundation licensees.

The question is whether a Foundation licensee can transmit tones, for
example, the tones necessary to operate through an IRLP gateway. Of course,
the DTMF tones to access an IRLP node transmitted by a Foundation station
must be analogue tones, and not a digital transmission.

The ACMA is advising those who have raised this question that the Amateur
LCD as amended does not prohibit the transmission of such tones by a
Foundation licensee.

Such operation is contemplated by the note to the provision prohibiting the
direct connection of a Foundation station to a public telecommunications
network which makes it clear that indirect connection through a gateway
operated by another licensee is permitted.
