Awesome video! This is really cool.

thanks and thanks for watching )

Great video. Makes it simple to do. I am going to give it a shot. I wonder if I use my handheld on low power will it charge when needed if I leave it on the charger all the time.

@GMRStwowayradio Год назад

it's best to check with the manufacture on that some charges can not handle the current draw even it on low TX or check to see if your model has a battery Eliminator for your model.

@thonos1 Год назад

@@GMRStwowayradio thanks. I didn't think about an eliminator. I'll check.

@safetyandrescuewithlegoand7880 8 месяцев назад

Also does this increase the range of the GMRS radio?

@GMRStwowayradio 8 месяцев назад

No, the range will be the same!! Meaning radio to radio range will be the same.

@lostgatang8347 Год назад

Great video! Do I need to worry about stereo and mono connections? The computer speaker out and noise suppressor adapter are both stereo. In contrast, the radio speaker out is mono. Also, the mics inputs are mono too. Thanks!

@GMRStwowayradio Год назад

Thanks and Hummm if I recall right, I think I had used both types mono or stereo, and it worked just fine.

@yfellow2008 11 месяцев назад

@@GMRStwowayradio So you do you have the repeater's squelch tone feeds back to Zello as a separate transmit? I use stereo, not mono. Should I try mono cables?

@GMRStwowayradio 11 месяцев назад

@@yfellow2008 - if I am using a handheld as a "repeater" then no, because i am only using one freqs like some of my videos show. as for a real repeater, I don't have that problem but i know some people that have that problem. if you can turn the squelch tone off in the repeater setting.

@safetyandrescuewithlegoand7880 8 месяцев назад

Will this work to connect any midland radio to the internet using Zello without the radio being repeater capable?

@GMRStwowayradio 8 месяцев назад

Yes, as long as the radio has VOX. If it doesn't then you will need a circuit to control it with zello.

@safetyandrescuewithlegoand7880 8 месяцев назад

Is there any way to increase the range on a GMRS radio using Zello?

@GMRStwowayradio 8 месяцев назад

No, not radio to radio. The only way to increase radio to radio range is antenna height and good coax cable and a good antenna too!

@BCM-556 Год назад

Can this be done with a Digirig instead and use RTS instead of VOX?

@GMRStwowayradio Год назад

humm maybe?? Sorry, i don't know what a Digirig is. But i have other videos on how to hook it up using a DB9 which has the RTS on it too.

hello, i was gifted a baofeng uv5r by a friend and i thought i'd try to hook it up to zello pc, i downloaded the free zello desktop app ( not zello work ) but i cannot sign in . i get an error either saying no internet connection or uknown error . does the desktop app still work ? i also tried creating a new account through the desktop app doesn't work either. i made sure the app has internet access through my firewall and everything , so i'm confused. can anyone help ? thak you.

@GMRStwowayradio Год назад

Sorry, i didn't see this message in till now. Yes, the desktop is still working just fine. Are you behind a proxy? Or your firewall is blocking the ports zello need too.

it doesnt work and when it does you can barely hear my voice and their is buzzing sounds

@GMRStwowayradio Месяц назад

i know it will work because i use it and many others use it too. It sounds like maybe you have a bad cable? And/or you need to adjust your sound setting. Did you select your sound card in zello? I found it was best to uses a USB sound card because built-in sound card sounded awful on zello!

@kenanderson7321 Год назад

Is there a Linux version of the software available so I can use a Raspberry Pi instead of a PC or laptop to hook the radio to?

@Ibelieve218 3 месяца назад

your not clear on cables , so are both cables mono and the ground isolator placement? is the ground isolator on the mic or speaker path?

@GMRStwowayradio 3 месяца назад

Sorry about that, Every radio is a little different but mono cables and isolator on the speaker out. You can always switch it to the mic if it causes problems on speaker out. But if I recall, speaker out should work with no problems.

So the mic on my computer is picking up everything, I can't figure out how to get it fixed. Can you help me out?

@GMRStwowayradio Год назад

When you plug in your two-way radio to the computer, that should disable the built-in mic. It's not disabling it, is this what you mean?

@@I_loved_the_90s ok you will have to disable it manually what Windows version are you using? Also, by plugging in the mic cable using the jacks if it's not disabling the built-in mic, you may have a bad or dirty jacks on the computer. Does the mic jack work? Even tho you hear the built-in mic, can you hear audio when it's plug in too?

Why would I want to do this when I can just install the app on. A phone tablet or computer?

@GMRStwowayradio Год назад

There are times when cell service won't work in an area, (in a valley) this will let you "patch" communication to that area using a two-way radio (on top of a hill that leads to that valley) and if the other person don't have two-way radio he can be patched thru from an area that has cell services using his phone 🙂

@ThWind81 Год назад

@@GMRStwowayradio You obviously have internet at the laptop location so for this to be beneficial, the person without cell coverage (in the valley) would also need to be outside wifi range and therefor not able to use wifi calling. Are these radios better than an outdoor wifi access point as far as range? I guess they could be if you have a nice antenna setup outside the shack. I just wonder how a directional wifi access point would compare to the radio's coverage because a wifi access point would be so much easier to setup and would allow for clean zello or wifi calling. Interesting setup!

@GMRStwowayradio Год назад

@@ThWind81 - yes handhelds can do 5 watts of power and mobile and repeater can do 50 watts of power. also keep in mind wifi freqs 2.5 and 5ghz don't travel as far/as well as GMRS freqs can.

@ThWind81 Год назад

@@GMRStwowayradio Nice. This could really solve comms issues for a lot of people in remote locations! I saw some Zello capable PTT handhelds for around $60 that could be used by people who can't afford a cell phone but have access to public wifi. I know it would be limited to other Zello users but it's something. Interesting stuff.

To use zello no, however if you are in a "repeater" type zello channel then yes because zello is being TX over the GMRS two-way radio airwaves. This would be up to the repeater owner to "check" to see if people have their GMRS license.
