Fig. 7-30 Validation Required Message
A server message will display that indicates the new callsign must be validated. You must close the EchoLink software
and validate this new callsign as a link station.
Note:
◆ As shown in the example below, the link station callsign is treated as a different station even if the same callsign (without the
-L) has been validated previously. In the case of “W6DJY”, the EchoLink software differentiates between “W6DJY” (single
user), “W6DJY-L” (link station) and “W6DJY-R” (repeater station), and different node numbers will be assigned. Because of
this, you must validate a link station (or repeater station) callsign by going to http://echolink.org/validation and following the
validation procedure.
