The repeater and computer is located at my home QTH, along with a wireless Internet connection, so I don't need to worry about link radios. I would like to connect the EchoLink interface to the second port. As far as I can tell, this is the most straight-forward integration technique. I really like the user-receorded voice recordings on my NHRC-3. Keeping that in mind, is the best controller for the job here the NHRC-5 (considering the price difference to the NHRC-10)? It has been somewhat difficult finding documentation on the Web as to how to integrate the NHRC controllers to EchoLink. Once I figure it out, I may post a blog on my Web-site.

Please remember to pay attention to the logic levels for each.

I was planning on using an EchoLink interface like the VA3TO Linking Interface. With the information yo provided, it seems that maybe that interface is not needed. Am I correct? Would it be easier to just use the interface?

When I said connect the computer directly I should have said through a interface box. I read all the info on the VA3TO Linking Interface, and this should work fine. The only difference between hooking it up to a radio and a controller is that the connects are just reversed as stated in the previous email.
