Hi Mike,

I just tried to use our simplex echo link link, but it is down, so I 
couldn't check how to connect as I haven't done that in a while.  I do 
remember one problem that I had with an HT.  My boafeng hts have had 
trouble transmitting the star key to a repeater.  I haven't had any 
trouble with my wouxun HTs.
