Interesting facts you bring up about Echolink John.  I don't use 
it that much and don't seem to have that many issues with it when 
I do, but am intrigued about your index vs Explore modes.  How do 
you tell which mode it is in? I also use WindowEyes so if there 
are some settings that optimize how Echolink works, I'd be 
interested in knowing about them.  73, Jim WA6EKS

Hi Rob and all, congrads on getting your tech ticket, please let 
us know
what your call is when you get  it!

One correction to Collin's post, Echo Link works much better with 
a
screenreader in Explorer mode, not Index!  I generally go into 
settings
and turn off anything that says show in index view, so that the 
program
will always come up in explorer view.  Also, I use Window-Eyes, 
so I make
a couple of adjustments to the screenreader, so that it reads 
call signs
correctly, including the dash L or dash R!  I if you get going, 
feel free
to connect to my simplex node, at:

KD8PC-L,  that's KD8PC dash L for us screenreader users!
