already fix-ed thanks From: george@dyb.com To: wolthuis@gmail.com; app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2012 21:58:10 -0400 Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Echolink setup I found those echlink servers to not work...here's what I use: server1=server1.echolink.org server2=server2.echolink.org server3=server3.echolink.org And number two seems to be flaky to connect to. They appear to pretty much resolve to the same places, but for some reason the original host names don't work for me... Also, to eliminate the idiots from el-land with drive by connects at 3AM my time I have a restriction to only allow connects to certain callsigns. I was getting tired of 10 second connects from parts of teh world that won't talk to me on 20M, but will take the time to annoy me on echolink. mine: permit=kb8niv,wb5cey,n5jgx-r,n5jgx,n5jgx-l,w2db,w2db-l,w8vt,w8vt-r,wa2fwj,w2vfw,w2lei,wb2ijn,wa2mct,wa2mct-l,wa2mct-r Keeps things nice and quiet, except when one of the permitted stations starts talking to himself at midnight...

However, the good news is you can limit who can connect! You can lock it down to certain callsigns, good for RACES group, etc… Unfortunately, despite several replies, I have the same config in echolink.conf as everyone sent me and it never shows up on Echolink. Maybe someone can catch my typo: [el0] confmode=no call=*CONFNAME* ; Change this! pwd=password ; Change this! name=Allstar 27408 ; Change this to your real name! qth=Allstar 27408 ; Change this to your actual QTH! email=kb8zgl@kb8zgl.net ; Change this! maxstns=5 rtcptimeout=10 node=8248 ; Change this!

I don’t see any errors, I know chan_echolink is built in… Is there any way to check logs or what is happening? It doesn’t show up on Echolink. FYI, this is a conference (ie. *confname*). I am hoping that works ok? Any suggestions how I can troubleshoot this?
