My mother had brain surgery, and have been pretty much by her side ever since. And as for the comment that problems are 'obviously operator error', that is condescending claptrap. You could think you're connected so friends can call, only to find you have been disconnected for hours. I've totally given up on the desktop version, unless I get someone to fix it in person, it'll forever stay busted.
I know that this was a one off coincidence, but still, a great app all around, I don't have HF capabilities, so working the world is impossible without this app. He had no idea about a major thunderstorm that was rolling in. So useful, I made contact in TN, and he was about to head out to the bar. I can not fully exit to sign out of echolink. One thing to watch is connectivity will drop if you switch between mobile data and home wireless while connected, so if you are not going to stay within range of your home wireless network, simply turn off wireless and use mobile data. There is no need to forward ports in your firewall if you use the default 'relay' connection - it just works! Another advantage of the app over the PC version is much better transmit audio level control, thanks to your smartphone's built in audio gain management. Works well on my Nexus 6 using T-Mobile data or wireless home network. Excellent app, created by volunteers in the true spirit of Amateur Radio.
