[ETS/PARC List] Echolink Connectivity

[Victor Pennetta]

Hi Ron,

I hope you did not have too much snow to cleanup.  I wanted you to know that at the last club meeting I did bring up your thoughts about having the club members to get involved with the digital modes.  I think it is an excellent suggestion and I will follow up with the members at the next meeting.

73,
Victor, K2NBC

Pete,
Another historic first for me on Echolink!
Instead of using my smart phone I used my stand alone computer and after experimenting, I was able to make contact with a K2LM using the K2Dllr Saratoga Springs NY unit.Said I had great audio .Not sure if I like Echolink or Allstar better. At least Echoling is portable on your smart phone.
I told Victor last week that we all need to get involved in digital comms such as PSK 31, daystar,  etc...
Let me know your thoughts

    Great!The downloading is pretty straightforward.The settings tab on the upper right hand corner has the settings that you need.Click network connection,this has to be relay.Once you get it you are ready to go.

    Haven't tried Echolink via WiFi yet,have to determine a few things.Echolink works well but it's frowned upon because the Audio quality.It still works& it's good if you are on the road or outta range of the repeaters.

Finally had a chance to get Echolink on my phone - a few curves to overcome but finally got there. Could not reach anyone on our ETS unit but did try a KG2H out of Saratoga Springs NY. Had a nice chat - he did not know much about Echolink on a smart fone but it was an accomplishment.
73 and stay well, all!

    Hello all

        Yesterday,Joe W20Z0 went up to visit with Walter in the hospital
with his HT.He was unable to get into our repeater at all for the sole
purpose of having Walter to listen to well wishers that might have been
listening at that time.

      Effective immediately,my simplex node which is Echolink enabled will
be linked to the two meter K2ETS repeater until such time Walter is
discharged from the hospital.Any member visiting Walter&is desirous to tie
into the repeater can now do so on their smartphone.

    If you don't have Echolink,you can easily download it from Google play
store.Activate the app,(its free) do a search for KD2ARB-L.You will be able
to hear&transmit on our club repeater when initialized.

    Those of you that are not familiar with echolink can view this vid

    Any members with further questions please consult with any member of
the tech committee

    A CRON script will be written so the connection will be automatic in
the mornings when the repeaters come out of sleep mode

The tech committee is
