I thought I'd give it a try since I've talked with a few guys that use it. I downloaded an app to do it on my phone which I hope is pretty cool. From what I read guys don't even know you're on a phone. I've used it under instruction from a neighbor on his laptop and I like the fact you can transmit all over the world on 2m for free.
If you've used it, especially on a phone, what program do you use? How do you like it?
I downloaded the free EchoLink app from Synergenics, LLC. Once I get a little more time I'll go to their website to see if they have a how to manual. I know every phone is different but the program was designed to work best with a dedicated camera button that is to be used as a PTT. I don't have one so I use the screen. Local repeaters are quiet right now so I'll wait until tonight and with another radio to see how it does. I also need to figure out what a lot of the icons stand for because I'm just poking everything. It would neat to talk with some of you guys if you have a local echolink repeater.
