Hi sarah and all, I like to call Echo Link a marage between ham radio and
the internet.  If you just use your PC, it isn't any different than any
other voice over the internet program, except the fact that you might be
connected to a station that is connected to a radio, either on simplex, or
through a repeater, wich is why you must be licensed to run the program.  On
the other hand, I have my Echo Link computer connected to a Kenwood TW4000,
so I use amateur radio to work through echo link and it makes it convenient
not to be tied down to the computer.  I have set up shortcuts, so I can
connect to repeaters that I use often by pressing a 2 digit code on my touch
tone pad on my HT!  I also move my TW4000 from the UHF simplex frequency
that it normally sits on, to the local club repeater on Wednesday nights,
when I run the local net, so that people can check into the net via Echo
Link if they want!
