The problem I have with Echo Link is the latency using my smart phone.
When you toggle the key it takes a moment for it to key up the repeater, then
you have to push it again to go back to receive. I found I was
many times doubling with others when trying to talk. Most net control
operators do the regular call ins, then ask if there are any Echo Link users
wishing to check in's to allow for the latency issues. It is
doable but sure not as convenient as a radio. I spoke with Bill
Potter and had a conversation regarding the interface, and the cost is less
than $100 but when I explained the setup we have now there are no more ports
on the controller for the interface. As we are using all three ports of
the controller hence (VHF, UHF, & Columbus) . I can look and
see if there is a work around or maybe a sharing of ports that could be
done. If the club decides to pursue this I can call Ken at Arcom
to address the sharing issue. Let me know, Bill also
volunteered to help us set it up. <U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>

question was about being able to join the club’s net when on the road.
I’d like to do that as well. Using a non-club repeater doesn’t really
address that. This may end up being a moot point, if there isn’t much
interest in doing this – or if there isn’t some technical or cost barrier –
but I’d like to give it due diligence!<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Bill Potter in Chappel Hill has echo link on one of his all
star repeaters. Washington Club has analogue repeaters and
only one of those does C4. 145.390.
