Echolink El 2020 New Software Free Download

If I jumped on echolink, connected to a repeater with echolinked attached, and say that I'm KN4QQN and they think I'm from America when I call Europe and get all excited, are they going to be pissed when I tell them I'm on Echolink?
Probably the closest thing used as such is Zello, which unlike echolink, doesn't require a ham license. I'm not up on all the hardware bits involved, but they'll usually have a channel set up tied to a node or repeater, with admin permission required to transmit into the channel.
Yes, connecting without saying anything is rude. If you are not going to talk on this two way medium, why are you bothering to participate at all? To say the least, if I see you connecting to my repeater and disconnecting and not saying anything when directly spoken to, you're going to end up on my blacklist and not allowed to connect at all. You wouldn't walk into a restaurant, stand in the middle of the dining room, and stare at people, and then refuse to sit at a table. You shouldn't expect to connect to a repeater via echolink and refuse to talk either.
Similarly, why would you connect and then immediately disconnect? If you're having technical difficulties with your audio, use the echolink test server until you have it fixed. If you're disconnecting because you connected and didn't immediately hear any activity, you're doing it wrong. If you want activity, put out a call. Maybe conversation just paused when your connection was announced. If you immediately disconnect without talking first, you'll never know if people were talking before you connected or if people are there but listening.
I wish someone in the future will create the same program as echolink where you can run single user and sysop for free and people can run a conference server for a fee ($3/per month with up to 5 users of conference then $1 for every 5 additional users of the conference). A software like echolink where you can install in your pc with windows, linux, and macs.
We need a site that can display all active echolink nodes on a map in real time, and possibly also stream the conversations! That would make it much easier for echolink users to find active nodes, and make it possible for listeners to monitor conversations without having to actually connect directly via echolink!
