Hey guys,
Scott here. I found a very interesting way for me to run my repeater considering I am blind. Has anyone used the Echolink Station software? That will alleviate a lot of work on my end for the repeater cause since I don't have eyes that will be a lot less soldering for this boy. I am reading about the Echolink Station and I like the principal. I can keep my hands pretty much out of the radio except for reprogramming the freqs on it and retuning the duplexers. The other thing I like is that I am able to run Ar Newsline through the software controller and I was looking for something like this. According to the manual, you can hook up a receiver and a transmitter and be pretty much set to go. Where the repeater will be located here which is right at my QTH, I think that since I have the knowledge of computers this will help. I just have to set up a box for it. I am going to try and run a version of Windows Xp and go that route. It should still be fun and interesting to see how all this works. One other question though, if I run Echo Station on the comp can I also run Echolink also as a -r station with out any problems or should Echolink be on a different machine? Thanks for all the help.
