Bob,

Actually, I think you were doing fine with Echolink. We heard all your
comments. I think you just had trouble dropping out of transmit and going
back to listening. I'd suggest you practice that in the test reflector until
it becomes second nature.

Also, there's a setting somewhere that changes the activation of transmit.
It can be set so you have to push to transmit then push again to receive.
But, there's a better option that allows the right side control key on the
keyboard to be a momentary contact  push-to-talk. When set up that way, you
hold the control key down while talking then when you release the key, you
are back to receive. It's much easier  than having to push another button to
get out of what is essentially being locked in transmit mode.

73, Jim

Thanks, Jim and Steve!
While I had problems transmitting, I enjoyed listening and will work on
transmit problem.  The last time I ran the audio test link everything
sounded fine but haven't been on for months.  Also having lots of problems
with this Windows XP.  When it has been on for a while, typed letters don't
show up on display right away and messages delete from Inbok once I close
e-mail.  To keep those, I have to copy them to Drafts where they stay until
I delete them.  Tech says for me to trash XP and use the Vista my handed
down to me.  Will need to find out if I can transfer EchoLink to it.  It has
a dual quad processer and, for example, will download an NLS 12 hour book an
2 seconds with FIOS connection.

Will be better next week.
Thanks again!
