Hi Bud,

If you hit the space bar while another guy is transmitting, your space bar
press has no action.  Under preferences, you need to enable the over sound
which will beep when your computer sees the end of the other guy's
transmission.

An alternative is to change the options so that you have to hold the space
bar down to transmit like a push to talk switch.

Subject: knowing when you're transmitting in Echolink


Hi gang,

I hope Echolink isn't off topic here but I have another question.  Has
anybody figured out a good way to know when you are transmitting with
Echolink?  It seems that I don't always trigger it when I press the space
bar so I tuned into a local repeater so I could listen on it and I didn't
always bring up the carrier when pressing the spacebar.  Therefore my
question is does anybody have a way of knowing that you have actually made
contact?
Thanks.
