Echolink for Beginners
A Practical, What-You-Need-to-Know Guide to Getting on Echolink
Echolink is a powerful system for linking the worlds of amateur radio and the Internet. You can link your PC, Android, iPhone, iPad or handheld radio to repeaters, individuals, or conferences located anywhere in the world, quickly and easily. And because it’s all digital, you get crystal clear, digital sound.
If you are a licensed Amateur Radio operator (ham), now you can communicate with other hams directly over the Internet, using streaming audio technology. Complex interfacing isn’t necessary to get started with Echolink. All you need is either a Windows PC with a microphone or an Apple iOS or Android device (iPads, iPods, Nexus, iPhone, Samsung, etc.). Yes, all you need to start is an app on your smartphone, there are no other costs involved.
This short book gives you a practical, step-by-step walkthrough of all the options to set up your Echolink “Station.” From registering your call sign with Echolink to installing the software on your PC, Android, or Apple device and making your first calls to individuals, ham repeaters, or conferences. This book covers it all. The book boils down the vast amount of unnecessary technical information that can be found on the Echolink (and other sites). It really is all-you-need-to-know.
This book does not cover the much more advanced topic of radio interfacing. It's a hands-on, get-it-done guide to get you set up and started down the road of Echolink.
Inside you’ll find step-by-step tutorials on how use your radio or dongle

I found the book to be an easy read and a good presentation of the Echolink getting started. It made a good refresher for me. I signed up and registered several years ago, but got side lined.
