OK all, I fixed the problem with my echolink link, seems the settings that 
worked with my old router for the old link I had up a couple years ago don't 
work with the new one so I had to force it. I hate knowing how to work with 
computers  lol, makes me work 10 times as hard knowing I should know why, 
but anyway, it's working now. I'll have it on the big antenna all day 
Wednesday likely if anyone wants to really play, and I think tonight from 
around 9 PM so we'll see how much use it will get. Now it's just for testing 
and on the indoor antenna in the attic and the coverage will be minimal most 
of the time in the day since I need the usual radio I talk on on the big 
antenna. I'll put another big one up in the fall, I just don't have the 
money to make the change now with vacation coming up and all. 73, have fun, 
and remember if you must use echolink, an RF link is the best way.
