What is Zello?

[@profgyland2]

Great stuff, well explained. Works to perfection.

This was more informative than the videos done by Zello.

when i used zello you could select a city or district and there was allsorts of channels and you could talk to poeople like the way you can on a cb radio to strangers even , but cant see it on here

[@chazmalick190]

Can it work with a Bluetooth head set?

[@RingwayManchester]

Nice demo there Ben. Definitely a handy app. I noticed some people stream scanner/radio audio through zello too. I also like the sounds on 'TX/RX'. Cheers

[@radiosification]

+Ringway Manchester Thanks. The sounds are all default apart from the end of transmission tone which I made in audacity to sound like a Motorola TETRA radio haha.

[@RingwayManchester]

Ahh right that's cool haha, love that Motorola handset too!

[@joshs3929]

Awesome... im still looking at getting into radio still do you have a Zello channel we can join?

[@radiosification]

I didn't before, but I just made one now. It is called radiosification. The password right now is just "digital"

[@qualityassurance9523]

well explained i just found out about this today for our storm chasers notifications what keeps this private from other listeners? thank you so much for posting

[@sashanealand8315]

I just don't get what is the point? How is is different than talking on facebook messanger or another calling app?

[@radiosification]

This is push to talk. You push the button and talk and it comes through instantly (almost) on the other person's phone. They don't have to answer the call or anything. Also you can do one-to-many calls so you talk and it comes out on a bunch of people's phones almost instantly

[@donnyp3001]

I thinking of getting a inrico TM-7 than using my tablet for it they look ok something that look a little like a radio there many make out there and model TM-7 is one of the model you can buy their from off Amazon all eBay by typing in network radio PTT like it up if you like their type of network radio

[@Pari_Pixie]

Does the other person have to have the app open in order for them to hear the message? Like does it work like the traditional walkie talkies?

[@radiosification]

They have to have the app signed in, but not actually open. It can run in the background so the phone can be locked or using other apps and it'll still work

[@davidm9017]

How do you add the radio sounds like for the mic on and off?

[@FHSDV1]

It already has it

[@joefrazier4288]

3:15 really I disagree on that ... I’m an avid Zello user I also have a ip radio And compared to RF line of sight. Where if your out of range you will surely lose connection While using Zello via WiFi aside using it globally Network connection is clear and certainly capable of sending txt and images That RF radio are lucking Unless ham operators have a taller antenna if they have one’ and mounted it on vans Just to say CQ😊 But with an ip radio you don’t need all of that . That’s how useful network radio is

[@radiosification]

With an IP radio you're still using all that RF stuff, just that you're renting access to someone else's network - your mobile phone network

[@joefrazier4288]

@@radiosification Correct so why some ham operators say IP is not RADIO when in your words “Using some of that RF stuff’😊 renting network access is not a problem if they can buy an expensive ip how much more renting it’ and it’s a network android radio everyone uses android ... even ham operators paying for there license every time it expires And don’t forget the money invested in radio & equipments including the antennas mostly the taller antennas they been paying that at enormous price Imagine those dozens of radios bought by most Ham operators ‘ With a network raidio all you need is one unit or a phone in Zello App and your business is a sure win while others are still calling CQ FOR ME IP RADIO IS ANOTHER KIND OF RADIO AN EVOLUTION OF RADIOS THATS USES NEW TECHNOLOGY ITS. TECH EVOLUTION For fast moving peace time technology and not end of the world 🌎 use 😊 That’s for the RF radios job like uv5r and others like that’ It have its purpose and use And ip is growing rapidly Even ham operators are using it 😂 but still saying it’s not a radio... Anyway... as long it can help a person to communicate more easily more faster more reliable specially on none apocalyptic way’ it’s good enough to be a radio when it looks like a radio it talkie ptt like a radio plus other features like txt or sending image photos gps locator just to say a few ... compared to RF radio during business all it do is ptt Then ip is my ideal business or emergency use My RF radio will just have to stay in my house and relax while waiting for grid shutdown or end of the world prep type scenario For daily job or fun time Network radio is the new Tech evolution of radio That’s just the way it is 😊

[@XRinger]

How come we don't have an app that works like a real Walkie Talkie? Without the internet? Peer-to-peer using wifi? Might be nice for bicycling or hiking etc..

[@radiosification]

+Richard Lee There may be some using bluetooth, but the thing is, the range is so bad with Wifi and Bluetooth that you may as well just shout

[@XRinger]

If you are out in the country, where there aren't dozens of wifi routers in all directions, I'm sure you could connect with another phone within line-of-sight out to 100 meters. I've been experimenting with a cheap ZTE and an old iPhone 4 and they have more range than expected.. With a cheap outdoor antenna on a wifi router, even in a very active wifi neighborhood, www.amazon.com/Antenna-2-4GHz-Wireless-Indoor-Outdoor/dp/B008FH2ZBM I can hear wifi routers, laptops, wifi printers and wifi phones out to 300 meters. Using a Piratebox connected to my router, it's possible to text from phone-to-phone, piratebox.cc/openwrt:diy without the use of the internet. I can watch videos from the Piratebox files folder out to 100 meters easily. Listen to music out to 200 meters.. Put the Wifi analyzer app on your phone and check out it's range.. I think you might be surprised.

[@RadicDejan72]

You can use "Intercom for Android". No Internet needed. It uses wifi and renge is 100 meters. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidintercom I'm looking simirar app for windows mobile 10.

[@XRinger]

That looks nice! Thanks.. I can't wait to try it out..

Hello @radiosification. What are the models of your Samsung phones? They look absolutely fabulous! Haha

[@grahamjones6712]

Does it work with the multifunction buttons of a bluetooth headset?

[@Raiyyanshaikh]

Can I use this app to talk with a pillion bike rider while riding my bike ? What obstacles I'd face if I want to use it as an intercom between me as a bike driver and my pillion rider ?

[@radiosification]

You probably could but it would stop working if either of you lost internet. It would be better to just use a bluetooth system purpose build for motorbike riders

[@muhammadraheel1182]

yes you can use it

[@behramcooper3691]

Does Zello work in the background, if the screen is off and the phknemis in your pocket, or can you communicate only after both phones launch the apps? And what if you have a team of 4 members. Can it broadcast just like a walkie talkie?

[@stevecanfly52]

Have you found out an answer to this yet?

[@MallikMiah]

It does just make sure you have the setting to accept microphone on all the time

[@JuukezeBarbie]

Remember when motorolla had these on the razor phones as mobile handsets? This is great it will be very handy

[@radiosification]

Had what? Zello?

[@JuukezeBarbie]

radiosification not exactly but similarly

[@radiosification]

You mean a PTT service? I don't remember that. Maybe it was available in your country but I'm in the UK

[@hanspetter4922]

Any way of talking without unlocking your phone? Triple click on camera button or something?

[@radiosification]

It can still work when the phone is locked actually. You still have to turn the screen on but don't need to unlock the phone. You can also use a headset or Bluetooth speaker mic that is compatible with Zello and set a button on that to be the PTT.

[@CHINOBOSTON]

Hello, I have a question can you use this app with android and Talk to an iPhone

[@radiosification]

Yes

[@CHINOBOSTON]

tnk you for responding

[@jjscustombuildersllc6534]

Can I buy a walkie talkie on eBay that works with zello and keep my phone number on it? In other words if I don't have my cell handy and somebody calls will it come through on the push to talk phone?

[@radiosification]

Short answer no. Walkie talkies don't work on zello and can't take phone calls unless you're connecting to a proper network which you'll have to pay a subscription for if it's even available and at that point it's basically like carrying a phone with a push to talk button

[@justcurious1940]

Is it possible without internet for small range ?

[@radiosification]

No, it only works over the internet

[@gabrielheiser]

Perfect demo. Thanks!

[@itzdimitrinl6220]

Does it work at miles away with the contacts option ?

[@radiosification]

It's over the internet. It works anywhere where there is internet access

[@rozman1]

Yeah it does I'm in a rp server and my chief for FD is in the UK and it works perfectly

[@Richard-b4f8b]

Anywhere in the world

[@MrDaryboy]

It makes no sense u cant just use it in a saved conversation mode. People are busy. If your needing to say something but can't expect them to have it come thru live at that time it makes more sense to have it just notify u that someone said something and you can respond at your availability

[@radiosification]

That's not what this is designed for. Just send them a WhatsApp voice note

[@jimc6144]

I guess the problem would be getting your selected contacts to install it. 🙄

[@Ziadred_]

Do i need to have the app open to hear someone?

[@radiosification]

No you don't need it left open

[@miguelluigisantoslopes1528]

Does this app need internet. Or does it work using local wifi

[@radiosification]

Needs internet

[@wisteela]

I'll have to give it a try. Been thinking of using it.

[@dwang327]

How far of range between two phones

[@radiosification]

I think you didn't understand how this works. It's over the internet, so it works wherever the phones have internet connection, via WiFi or mobile network data connection.

[@johnapple2539]

Does this need internet connection

[@gabrielheiser]

Yes, OR wifi!

[@themaniac5864]

so this cant be used to speak with ptts?

[@radiosification]

PTT means push to talk, so these are "PTTs"

[@themaniac5864]

@@radiosification sorry... I mean talk with baofengs for example

[@radiosification]

You also push to talk on those so they're also PTTs. If you clarify your question I might be able to provide a useful answer

So will this work on 2g data?

[@radiosification]

Yes

[@michaellabista8030]

If this offline?

[@BryanSalesDP]

So basically useless without internet connection. I thought it worked without a line.

[@dorianbelen]

This is the best App in my work. with the phone, we talk a lot BS. With Zello just right to the point with many people in the same time.

[@radiosification]

No, zello only works over the internet. Phones are not much good for communicating back to back at any reasonable distance. For that you'll need to get some walkie talkies.

[@619KingPoker]

must have a wifi accress our internet service runs great

[@quentillianlouw317]

A wiffi network covering a large area without intenet, just a wirelles connection. If it worked on that, then it would have been great

[@dmironyuk]

I'm still looking for an "actual" walkie-talkie app, years later still no results😄 "once the satellites go offline, these silly apps go absolutely useless" Anyways I'm surprised Motorola has an actual FM radio app...

[@stephenpadley6684]

Does it work on your data / wifi

[@radiosification]

Yes, it needs internet access

[@daytona1212]

I prefere the real stuff. We use real handsets all the time when we go on city trips so we are always able to find each other. But I can imaging Zello having a way bigger transmission range over the internet.

[@MrMoto-tl4nv]

The app use to be great but not any more

[@radiosification]

Why do you think it's not now?

[@PB-bn9bq]

As much as this wants to be Nextel it won’t be.

[@naldrus6418]

That is the disadvantage of that zello... you had to have wifi data.... but in two way you have to.... but I have zello in my phone... ahahahaha!!! Peace!!!😂😂😂
