Re: [Svxlink-devel] Easy Digi

No problem with the D710 ... my thinking is this ... the 710 (like all
other radios I suppose) gets very hot on high power and it is a more
expensive radio ... sometimes I have QSO's that extend over 2 hours ... it
is set on high power (50w) in order for me to cover at least 50km's/30
miles) with a copper J-pole to allow as many hams as possible to use
EchoLink via RF ... so I thought instead of using the D710 for extended
periods like that I would rather get a less expensive radio with an
ExhoLink interface connected to an amplifier to reach these older ham
operators ... the D710 will now be used for SkyCommand ... at least that is
my plan ...

Thank you for the reply ... I will change to VOX instead ...
