There was just a long winded discussion on here about this about a month ago. My advice is disregard. We don't do anything illegal nor do we allow non hams. We police the Allstar networks as well as anyone else. If anything the trash, both audio and people quality, is on echolink. So if anyone should have a restriction it should be us not allowing them! I personally have never heard anything illegal on any of my nodes other than someone maybe not identifying properly. <br><br>Please don't turn this is into another big discussion. It is not worth it.

I'm not sure what makes us compliant. We have Echolink enabled on our repeater... I know of no way a non-ham could link in during an Echolink connection. Is there a way of setting app_rpt so an Echolink connection precludes all others? Also, Echolink has Apps for the PC, Android, and the iPhone/iPad... Their PC app (phones are RF, but not ham) seems to invalidate their rf only policy, although they do verify a license before granting a node number.

<br>
In general, EchoLink does not permit cross-linking.<br>
<br>
More specifically, EchoLink does not permit cross-linking with other VoIP systems that can be accessed off-the-air (for example, directly from a PC or Web browser). This is because other systems may have a validation procedure that is far less comprehensive than EchoLink's, and we want to continue to ensure that EchoLink is solely for use by licensed Amateur Radio operators around the world.<br>
<br>
Therefore, while excellent systems such as Zello, AllStar, eQSO, WIRES-II, etc. all serve an important purpose within the Amateur Radio community, our policy is that they cannot be directly connected to a registered EchoLink node.<br>
<br>
In other words, your node must function only as a direct RF gateway, and not as a cross-link to another system. If your node is reachable through another path, that path must be disabled when an EchoLink connection is in progress. For example, an EchoIRLP node is permitted, since it functions only as an RF gateway when an EchoLink connection is made.<br>
<br>
If you are running Asterisk with app_rpt and an EchoLink channel, be sure it is configured not to allow other VoIP connections when an EchoLink station is connected. If this isn't practical, please disable the EchoLink channel.<br>
<br>
Thanks for ensuring that your node adheres to this policy. In some cases we do restrict logins to be sure the policy is being followed.<br>
