Hello,
Does echo link have a delay in the signal like MSN?
SKYPE seems to be like a direct 2 way instead of having a delay.
But others more knowledgeable on this subject may be able to explain this
better.
thanks.

I hate to say this, but I am in John's camp on this issue, for the most
part.
Part of the enjoyment and thrill of hamming to me has always been the radio
contact; I can more easily and enjoyably converse with friends on Skype than
Echolink. Echolink does sound like radio, but it is VOIP. In my mind, VOIP
is VOIP and Skype just implements things better.
