Welocome to the Echo-Producer Yahoo group, please register to the group to gain access to the files section.
This group is to discuss and help EchoLink Node owners using the Echo-Producer program. Echo-Producer has been a group effort including Peter EI4JR, Paul VK2EX, Ian G8PWE, Steve EI2GYB and Mike VA3PS. The Program was put together by Peter EI4JR who spent many sleepless nights in front of a keyboard. Hopfully Peter will get back to programing after he recovers from his nervous breakdown after putting this one together and having to deal with all our requests.

The Aim of the Echo-Producer program is to enhance an EchoLink node to allow regular news and other related broadcast at pre-programmed times and days, and allowing a MP3, WAV of any bit rate to be transmitted through the node radio in high quality. Once this was achieved it was then expanded to control the identification of the node and allow interactive help menus either by Text to Speach or MP3 files, that can be accessed via DTMF. When configured correctly and with a repeaters owners consent, it can give reliable and customizable identification and beaconing of a repeater and keep unwanted repeater identifications from being transmitted through the IP network to remote stations. Some protection to anti social behavior has also been added which makes this a quite complete program that would make any simplex or repeater node stand out and be noticed, while remaining user friendly. 73 From Paul VK2EX
