EchoMac 1.13 Released !

Dog Park Software is pleased to announce that version 1.13 of N9YTY's 
EchoMac client has been released and can be downloaded from 
<http://DogParkSoftware.com/EchoMac.html>.

EchoMac is a program written for MacOS X, based on the echoLinux 
(http://cqinet.sf.net) program by Jeff Pierce (WD4NMQ), that gives 
licensed amateur radio operators the ability to access the Echolink 
(http://www.echolink.org) system,

What's New in v1.13 ?

* ISSUE:		When using iSight (tested on Panther only) will NOT work if 
Sound control panel is open.
			If the Sound control panel is not open, it seems to work correctly, 
but audio input seems low.
			Still investigating this issue.

* BUG FIX:	Updated Portaudio library. Should no longer change your 
system volume settings.

Features:

EchoMac allows any licensed amateur radio user using MacOS X to connect 
and talk to another amateur radio operator on a remote system whether 
it is a repeater, link, conference room or another computer user. It 
can only connect to one station at a time, but if you connect to a 
conference server you can talk to as many stations as that conference 
server supports.

There is a short delay when you first run the program with your 
name/call sign/password as you must be validated before you gain 
access. This is handled by Echolink, not by Dog Park Software or Steve 
Palm (N9YTY), and may take anywhere from fifteen minutes to several 
days, and you can not use the system until this happens.

System Requirements:

* MacOS X with the BSD Subsystem installed.
* Sound Input Device (microphone) and output device (speakers)
* Internet connection
* At least 800x600 screen resolution

Support:

EchoMac is basically released "as-is". I welcome your comments and 
suggestions, but I can not guarantee any level of support, since my 
schedule is very full with other commitments. I wanted to make this 
available though, so enjoy! It may be enhanced further as time permits 
or if any severe bugs are found.
