You can definitely use your radio! I suggest that you go buy a ARRL Repeater Directory that is fairly updated.

A Yaesu FT 60 would be a good choice at a low cost) An old UHF mobil from a swap meet for about 50 bucks and a decent dual band hand held will make your walks a LOT more fun! (Your hand held should have a DTMF tone pad to be able to control your Echolink. If you can use UHF, It seems to work out better than two meters. (A mobil radio set to 'low' power of 5 watts will work out a lot better than a little hand held running at 5 watts overheating itself!) A little hand held will work, But in the real world, Mobil radios work lots better. If there is no such link or repeater in your area now, If building your own, I would seach out a good used older mobil radio. If someone else has a private link, Perhaps you could chip in for power/broadband etc for them to share it? Working Echolink would be a great way to help pass the time on your walks.Д«ut before you build your own station, Do check your area to make sure you will not be re inventing the wheel, If there is already a repeater, Or someone near you with a link set up for Echolink.

But I'm kind of needing to walk 4 hours a day for physical therapy and I want something to help break the boredom besides the dog at the end of the leash. I realize that I do 'Echolink' from the computer alone. Do I need a radio that has cross band repeater capability? -OR- Is just a single band radio sufficient? I'd like to do it inexpensively (read 'cheaply' - don't really want to be spending like $500.00 or so for base station). I think I need something like a base or mobile radio to connect to the computer. Of the three electronics projects I've attempted. (I am not an electronics type person at all. But I don't think that it has what it takes regarding whatever to do the connection. Doing some reading on the internet I recently discovered 'Echolink.' I was kind of hoping to use an old Yaesu FT-530 as the radio connected to the computer.

The software is written to run on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows. There is no cost for this service, and it ensures that this system is used only by licensed amateur radio operators.

The EchoLink system requires that each new user provide positive proof of license and identity before his or her callsign is added to the list of validated users. No special hardware or software is required to relay a transmission via an EchoLink node.Д«efore using the system, it is necessary for a prospective userвЂ™s callsign to be validated. Thus any low-power handheld amateur radio transceiver which can contact a local EchoLink node (a node is an active EchoLink station with a transceiver attached) can then use the Internet connection of that station to send its transmission via VoIP to any other active EchoLink node, worldwide. In essence it is the same as other VoIP applications (such as Skype), but with the unique addition of the ability to link to an amateur radio stationвЂ™s transceiver. The system allows reliable worldwide connections to be made between radio amateurs, greatly enhancing Amateur RadioвЂ™s communications capabilities. It was designed by Jonathan Taylor, a radio amateur with call sign K1RFD.
