Echolink is an online platform allowing licensed amateur operators to communicate with each other without the need for a particular radio or access to any particular radio network. Using a phone or tablet app, or computer client, you can talk to other operators and connect to repeaters and conference servers across the world.

Of particular note is the *SCOUT-VK* conference server, established by Scout Radio Victoria to facilitate Echolink contacts among Scouting and Guiding members across the country.
