IRLP or Echolink

Paul
Hello,
What is the consensus on IRLP or Echolink? Which is better? I have plenty of bandwidth to run either of the systems. I have done a lot of the Icom proprietary IDAS/NXDN VOIP but never IRLP or Echolink. I do have the Echolink connection thru this computer, not the actual connection to a control station or repeater.

I would say Echolink because anyone with a phone and a callsign can use it.

Echolink much easier! IRLP you need a Hardware interface from David Cameron, and setup a Linux PC. IRPL you have to have a Radio connect to PC for it to work.

I am on Echolink. Apart from allowing a couple of UDP ports on your firewalls, it is easy. It kind of feels like Skype for Radio Hams but without the Radio!!!
