Echolink is now on the market and working great!

Looks like I will be adding echolink to my D2 soon. Hello brother Hams.

I got to beta test the Echolink for Android about a week before it hit the market. I think it works great, however not sure how much I'll use it.

I've been a ham since 1983 but never really did anything with APRS. Can someone tell me what or how APRS can help my ham experience - especially on the Droid?

Passcode

Apparently you can get a passcode by going to this page - aprsdroid.org/passcode/ It is prefer that you do not get it from a server sysop as some other post indicate.

Good to see a bunch of Hams with good taste in their cell phone platforms. Hope you all have tried the Echolink app for android.

I heard a guy on a local 2m repeater using echolink through his iphone. A Droid echolink app would be great.

I have been using my Droid 2 on Echolink for several months now. I have been told my audio is excellent. And connecting is no problem. I Downloaded the Echolink Ap the same day I bought my phone. Works great!

Hi all,
This is my first post.
I am a "newbie" when it comes to cellphones, apps and androids.
I am looking for an echolink app for a samsung T456.
Some sites i have tried to access (with the cell phone) resulted with nothing more than error message.
I am wondering if i should try to download the app to the pc, then load it to phone.
Thank you
Lewis

here's something that's related, a way to make Morse ringtones!

Nerdy as hell I know, but I love it. It can be handy to know who's calling without even taking your phone out of your pocket. Nobody else will know either

enjoy!

Hi walt,
I have since purchased a Samsung galaxy s.
I now enjoy taking echolink with me in the car (while parked) and i found out that the other phone that i was using isnt an android which is why i couldnt run echolink.
Also, the browser was outdated. Now i have no excuse for not using echolink,hi.
I have also secured a new call. It is VE3QJ.
