ok one more, i swear this time ..i think
does echolink know i am or will be, on two meters, or can you basically 
get into the node and then change to whatever you want, i.e, can someone 
on my node(if there is any but me) go from my 2M and transmit to someone 
on say, 10M or does this even make sense?
