Hi Dave;

I found a short cut in the echolink program.

If you do an alt (f) for find, you can type in the call sign you want and,
if they are on line, it will find it.

If they are not on line, then it won't find it.

If you wish to work another call sign, just hit escape again and then alt f
it will bring up the find box again, and it will be blank.

Hope this helps.
