Echo link is like most other VOIP with it's own configuration, so it
is not a "frequency" you are interacting with, but a VOIP with it's
own interface, to connect to other echolinks, kind of like skypes,
with "node numbers," or "call signs," like yours. When I am connected
to Echolink only, I am not connected to anyone but anyone who sees me
there can connect to me, and you, similarly. Echolink interfaces with
several hundred repeaters all around the world, but only if you find
them via a list or a node number. there are two kinds of lists in
Echolink, an "index" view and an "explorer" view. the "explorer"
view is a little easier with speech to navigate, though the other can
be used. Explorer brings things into tree-views and lists both, where
index view is more like a long list. when you find a station you
wish to connect too, you merely press enter, and you'll hear two
tones, a low one and a higher one. If you don't connect
successfully, you'll hear a high tone and then a low tone.
when you do connect, the default key to talk is the space bar, where
you tap it once and you're transmitting, tap it again, and you receiving.
I hope this gives you a glimmering.
