Hey HAMs; I am trying to get echolinux/echogui to work. It (echogui) comes up and gets the nodes list correctly. I then select any node and it showsup in the section indicating that it is trying to connect. thats is it. It near connects to any station. Skype VoIP work flawless. Echolinux fails I have tryied "ping 69.151.199.196" which is the IP# shown in echogui. It works. However, I can not connect using echolinux. strace shows nothing very helpful but "timeout". -- 73 de Donn Washburn Hpage:" http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB Email: " n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org " 307 Savoy St. HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador LL# 1.281.242.3256 VoIP via Skype: n5xwbg " http://counter.li.org " #279316

Code Program
by Billie Erin Walsh 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

One of my LONG dormant hobbies is ham radio. Well, I'm finally thinking about becoming a bit more active. One problem is that I only have a Novice, does that tell you how long I've been dormant, license. To say that my code skills are rusty would be a BIG understatement. Kind of like saying the Titanic got scratched by an ice cube. Anyway, I got to wondering if there was anything like a practice program for Linux. I know there are a few for windows, but................................ [ I haven't had my windows machine on for a couple months now ] Maybe I'm not putting it in right, but Google doesn't seem to find anything of use. Sometimes if you don't ask the right question you don't get the right answer. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh KA5LSU The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass then on!

by T + J Williams 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

Hi, The latest release of twclock is now available. It is a clock designed for ham radio operators that can display local, GMT, and the local time at hundreds of cities around the world. It also includes an I.D. timer that sends your call in CW via the soundcard. The major changes in this version include the use of automake, so you use the standard ./configure, make, and make install process. There is a precompiled static version too. Both can be found at: http://wa0eir.ham.org -- 73, Ted - wa0eir http://wa0eir.ham.org

mkiss module is broken in OpenSuSE 10.0
by Mike McCarthy, W1NR 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

It appears that the mkiss module is broken in the 2.6.13 kernel (and SuSE 10.0). From my research, it appears that 2.6.14 kernel and later is fixed. I don't know if 2.6.13 will get patched or not. For now, my RF packet cluster node will remain at 9.3 untill I try building the latest mkiss module from source on my 10.0 test machine. 73 de Mike, W1NR
