On a different forum (that I don't belong to) someone asked how to access IRLP using the VX-8R. Below is the response that was given. I tried this and it didn't appear to work. My question is: A. does this sound correct? and B. how do you exit DTMF? I can't find the # key; with or without the Function key...

Find an IRLP or EchoLink repeater near you.
Simply use the DTMF feature of your radio to “dial” your target IRLP or EchoLink node.
When finished, close the connection with ## on the DTMF pad.
My goal is to use a local IRLP repeater to access IRLP nodes in different countries without the cost of HF.
