Reviewing my manual for the Kenwood <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenwoodusa.com\/Communications\/Amateur_Radio\/Mobiles\/TM-D710A\">TM-D710A<\/a> that I have running my APRS traffic for my home weather station, I saw how the D710A can also simultaneously run an EchoLink node (with the additional <a href=\"http:\/\/www.universal-radio.com\/catalog\/fm_txvrs\/PG5GH.jpg\">PG-5H cables<\/a>). Configuring the EchoLink software to work with the D710A is pretty simple and is covered in one of the Kenwood <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenwoodusa.com\/UserFiles\/File\/UnitedStates\/Communications\/AMA\/Manuals\/TM-D710A_In-Depth-Manual_APRS_EchoLink.pdf\">manuals<\/a> for the rig that focuses on both APRS and EchoLink operation. I established my EchoLink station as a simplex &#8220;link&#8221;. That allows me to have the EchoLink node operational on a simplex VHF\/UHF frequency and accessible by either HT from the house or from my mobile rig while I am driving in and around town. By using DTMF commands over the simplex link, I can bring the node up and down as well as connect to different EchoLink enabled repeaters and <a href=\"http:\/\/echolink.g4eid.co.uk\/status\/all_conferences.html\">conferences<\/a>. It is interesting to note that since I was last playing around with EchoLink, it seems there are a lot less nodes around. I&#8217;m guessing this can be attributed to the growing popularity of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.irlp.net\/\">IRLP<\/a> over EchoLink.
