As a licensed radio amateur no longer able to erect external antennas, I've been using 'Echolink' via my i-Pad (iOS 16.3) to talk to the world ... can't help feeling this is cheating ... but anyway.
I gather that 'Echolink' was designed for Windows. Although it does work via my iPad, there are snags. The main one being that when I tap to transmit, a huge black window with a microphone in the middle come up and obscures the two 'Echolink' windows. This is a pity because I cannot see the callsigns and other details that are displayed. Is there any way of reducing the size of this window?
Is anyone else using an iPad for 'Echolink'? People keep telling me to resort to a cheap Windows computer or (perhaps?) an Android tablet. (Does the latter perform better with 'Echolink' than the iPad?) However, I'm reluctant to do do this and hope there are ways to remain Mac-based.
Any comments greatly appreciated --- M
