[App_rpt-users] Alternative to WebTransceiver java applet (Doug Crompton)

[Andy Wittman]

I would also be interested in a better web transceiver. Preferably something that works on mobile or tablet as well. I travel a lot and being able to link into my home repeaters with EchoLink is very nice. Not something that is currently easy with Allstar. 

+1 for updating web transceiver.

Anyone who's come so far as to building their own node and subscribing to this list has likely exceeded what that web transceiver could do for them.

Ham radio needs to attract, and keep, the attention of that same audience.  App_rpt and Allstarlink are great for that.  But this audience doesn't come to us with anything more than a very basic, novice background at first.  A web transceiver seems like a handy tool for those new young hams to explore.
