Re: [App_rpt-users] echolink stuff
This has been my assumption, too. It seems to happen mostly when a proxy is used, such as when someone connects via IPhone / Android. 73 Kyle K0KN Allstar 2210-2219 --- Original Message --- Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 13:23:24 -0700 From: Monty To: "KP4TR (Ramon Gonzalez)" Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] echolink stuff They are probably connecting through an echolink proxy and it is giving you the proxy's Callsign.

considering the number of drive-bys on echolink, i just turned off the announcements and ignore it. as long as the don't key up, i really don't want to know. more annoying are the folks that don't realize they have their pseudoPTT on their keyboard depressed (or the cat is sleeping on it, or...) and connect, key up all the linked systems, and wonder why they don't hear anything, and then time us all out...after throwing a dead carrier for 179 seconds. grrrr. -- Bryan Sent from my iPhone please forgive misspellings...

I have echolink locked down and only allow a few known friends to come in thru my allstar node. Otherwise it works great! On 7/11/2012 7:35 PM, Bryan D. Boyle wrote:

My way to fix that is to block all but a short list of echlink callsigns. Much quieter, and no more 3AM calls from somewhere where it is 3PM +/-.

I turn off all connection announcements, and disable incoming connections when I go to bed at night. The solves all the problems! Matt Roberts n9gmr@me.com Sent from my iPhone On Jul 12, 2012, at 12:36 AM, George Csahanin <george@dyb.com> wrote:
