Default Echolink

Echolink:

ECHOLINK is a communication means that allows Licensed HAMs to communicate over the internet around the world at no cost, it utilizes VOIP (Voice over Internet). To download the ECHOLINK program go to:

www.echolink.org

download it and follow the simple instructions.

You will need a separate microphone to plug into your computers microphone jack or a combination microphone/headset, this is what i use.

After you have it downloaded go to the TOOLS then SETUP section and setup for your preferences, then go to TOOLS then PREFERENCES and select connections THEN limits and set the number of persons that you will allow to talk to you at one time, I have mine currently set to 12.

After you have everything setup go to STATION and CONNECT TO TEST SERVER, This will allow you to setup your microphone level. When you have finished here go to NORTH AMERICA, AREA 4 and look me up W4RAA, Click on my call sign and if i am on i will see you connection to me.

any questions email me and we can call on the phone to get you all up and running.
