I have that on my computer but I absolutely can't stand voice chatting on
the computer, and actually, if it wasn't for the fact that echolink has
voice chat capability, if it was just getting on ham radio, links and
repeaters and such I would probably give it a shot but where it's more
commonly used as nothing more then another voice chat program and I don't
like most people's computer audio, I don't get on those things.
