Contemplating this a bit more, I tried disconnecting from the office wi-fi network. I am wondering if I don't have a sufficiently public IP address or some firewall rules about receiving the UDP ports that Echolink uses. (I tried with the EchoHam client on my laptop as well to no avail.) I'll...

I'm able to find the USA-GNG in the Echolink app, but I'm not able to connect to it. Is it the sort of thing that has to be turned on? it's my first foray into echo link and my mental model for a conference is "local repeater" or possibly even "local simplex channel". My expectation was that I...

The approval from Echolink came through in the time it took me to write that last post. So that was quick. Now to see if I can make the next net. Is this still the time/place? Copied from 12PoundTest above:

I did the app download and set up. My license was old enough that I had to jump through some hoops to get the PDF copy for verification on Echolink. It didn't take too much effort but this set of steps may streamline the process for others. I didn't have an FCC account set up, so I had to do...

I have a couple of Uniden products and they all work great (CB radio and a handheld scanner). Midland radios are fine products as well. Do you prefer the look, feel, size or mounting of either of them? I don’t think there’s a wrong choice here.

Hi there! New member here from Berkeley, CA. I found Overland Bound while looking for nearby trails that might be close enough and short enough to do as day trips with my oldest son (3) who thinks my 1994 Jeep Wrangler is the best vehicle that ever was (possible exception for the SR-71...
