What should I be aware of when connected to a Echolinkd Repeater?
You should first listen to be sure that you won’t be dropping into the middle of an existing QSO or communications between two or more parties. When clear announce your call sign or call CQ (General Call for any station). While in QSO it’s extremely important to listen for squelch tails dropping and pause before starting to transmit again. After completing your call its best that you disconnect rather than hang around to listen as you’ll be holding the Echolink port busy to all others who may want to call in. When doubt ask permission to simply stay connected if you really want to monitor the repeater system you are dialed in to. Some systems like the KH6JPL-R in Hawaii, normally has conference mode enabled so many sites can be connected at the same time.
