    Is there a way to get EchoIRLP to announce the
    callsign of the person connecting and disconnecting, just as there is
    on the Echolink software for Windows. &nbsp;Typically says &quot;K0GDI Connected&quot; or &quot;K0GDI
    Disconnected

    Yes, there is an option to turn this behaviour on. I'd have to fish through my echo_environment file to get the right environment variable to set. I've had this option turned on my system for so long I've forgotten how I turned it on (and I wrote the stuff! :D ).

    Yep, I found it. Here's the relevant section of my echo_environment. :)

    # <Say Node Number>
    # This variable determines if the node number is spoken after the
    # standard Connect to EchoLink message is played.
    export ECHO_SAY_NODE=CALLSIGN

    I think the valid options here are:

    NO - doesn't announce who is connected
    YES - announces node number of remote node
    CALLSIGN - announces callsign of connected station.

    Note that announcements only happen for the first connected node and last disconnected node. This was a design decision at the time to minimise disruption to QSOs in progress, and would take modification of the scripts to change.
