I am an Amateur Radio operator (ham) and I've been looking at using Echolink (found at www.echolink.org ). Is there any way that it can be made portable to use from a USB drive? I travel frequently and would like to be able to operate from wherever I am without bringing a radio everywhere I go.

I'm a ham myself, and have used echolink a few times. I'll take a look at what's needed, and let you know ASAP if it can happen. If so, I'll get it posted here for testing!

Fully functional Echolink portable? My dad would love to have that, and I'm pretty sure I'd use it more if it were portablized.

Late answer: However - simply installing to your local machine then copying the installed folder to the application folder on your PortableApps pen drive is generally sufficient for most HAM applications to go remote. I have EchoLink, RMS and WinLink, GPredict, CHiRP and others running from my PortableApps thumb drive. (Screen Shot link to Pasteboard) https://pasteboard.co/HUMZjCi.png
