Hi Guys,
I am very new to the echolink concept. I need help in setting up echolink on my mobile radio.
Radio: Kenwood TM-V71A
Connections:
--------------
I have a wire which connects my laptop (USB) to my radio (Data Port). I use the same wire to work with Kenwood MCP-2A software to program the radio.
Test done till now:
---------------------
Able to connect to echolink test server from laptop.
Able to transmit and hear back using laptop microphone and speaker.
Questions:
-----------
1. How do I transmit and hear from echolink test server using my radio?
2. What frequency should I set on the radio to transmit to the echolink test server?
3. I saw some videos on YouTube to setup SysOp. In every video I see people using 2 radios. One to connect to echolink via computer and the other radio (mostly handheld) to transmit. Do I really need two radios to make this work? Can't I use single radio to work with echolink? If yes, how do I do it?
Regards,
Bhadresh (Brad)
