EchoLink® on Beauregard Repeater 147.060
Thanks to Richard - WB4BYQ, the EchoLink® system has been activated on the Beauregard Repeater.
EchoLink® is familiar to many of you, but for those who have not used it in the past, you will be excited to see the significant functionality afforded by this application. EchoLink® uses streaming VOIP technology to enable linked repeater stations and EchoLink® users to communicate over the internet. The application can be used through a computer or mobile device. The application if free, so the price is right! We will discuss this further in the Club meetings, but in the meantime, download the app (available on Apple App Store and Google Play) and give it a try. The repeater you will be looking for to connect to the 147.060 repeater is WB4BYQ-R. Also, below are a couple weblinks that are informatives:
