HAM Radio Discussion

On Echolink or?

Yes, but it looks like the echolink website has an extensive FAQ so nevermind.

I'm up on echolink, got it all installed a while back (again). One thing to note, you'll not get on echolink if you're not licensed. Won't happen. They have to verify the license to grant access.

I couldn't even get on with my license, their verification process didn't have the proper data in the database, since I've been unlisted for 30 years. (phones/addresses) blah blah.

Nothing really hard to install it. Download it, follow the instructions to authenticate your callsign, and sign in. The hardest part was getting my router configured for proper port forwarding. Programming ham radios is harder than using this program, honestly. There is a tool in a drop down menu to have it run a test to make sure you don't have connection issues. That's where I found out I had a port forwarding issue. From there its a little trial and error of playing with it.
