[arm-allstar] Question to those using Echolink

Thu Mar 1 11:04:15 EST 2018

Robert,

 Yes,there are several ways to connect back using iax from various devices.
iaxrpt can be used on any Windows based device and there is an iaxrpt app
for Android phones. For the Iphone I think the only one to use is zoiper.
All of these methods are detailed in howto's at the hamvoip.org web page.
