EchoLink
EchoLink software allows licensed Amateur Radio stations to communicate with one another over the Internet, using streaming-audio technology. The program allows worldwide connections to be made between stations, or from computer to station, greatly enhancing Amateur Radio's communications capabilities. There are more than 350,000 validated users worldwide – in 159 of the world's 193 nations – with about 6,000 online at any given time. To access our 444.975 MHz Repeater, use KØMSP-R EchoLink Node 8098. Please use your call and location with initial connection. Click the following link for a list of current logins. Note: Please leave at least a four second gap between "overs" to allow time for all links to reset.
EchoLink DTMF Functions
EchoLink can accept DTMF tone commands used to enable or disable the link or to connect or disconnect a station on the Internet. Each command consists of a sequence of digits (or the special keys *, #, and A through D). The table below lists each of the DTMF commands.
