These commands are a representative set of basic commands.  There are many commands in 
addition to these.  For details, refer to the EchoLink site at 

.

Note: Each node owner has the option of changing the basic commands, particularly to avoid conflicts with other repeater 

functions.  Before using EchoLink over a nearby repeater, it is a good idea to try to contact the node owner, or 

someone else familiar with the node, to see if there are any special operational rules.

You use this function for accessing nearby relay stations by using DTMF codes from 
a TM-D710A/E or by transmitting a control command to the relay station.  It is possible to register 
a DTMF code up to a maximum of 8 digits in an EchoLink private DTMF memory (10 channels all 
together).
