First you need to know if there are any special access codes to enter.
The possibility of the machine not hearing all your codes....either you
are entering too fast or too slow for the machine. Check with the node
owner.

Hi

I am new to amateur radio so I am having to get used to the new technology.
I use a Yaesu FT-8800E.

I can access local repeaters but nothing happens if I try to turn on
repeaters which are further afield.

I am also having problems turning on Echolinks. I have tried to use the
Echolink frequency 145.2875. I key the mic and type into the mic and nearly
always get a message saying the link does not exist. I have tried links
which have just been closed down so I know the node exists. I always type
in a # before the number but I wondered if there were any further settings I
needed to adjust.

I hope someone can help.
