International Radio Network, Inrico T320 IRN, Ham Radio Smartphone 

Excellent Video, as usual!! I'd like to see more about the IRN and the setup.

Great podcast, Eric. Perfect timing seeing as you just joined the DigiComm Cafe Community today. Good to see you covering this. Thank you. Denny - KD5DLJ

I think it’s great to have variety and access into communication for all.I welcome new technology and in low sunspot times it’s a bonus to be able to communicate with other hams regardless of conditions 😀 Gm4zji Chris.

Great review. Glad that you explained that the antenna is used over the cell phone network. Since none of the newer cell phones put external jacks in their phones anymore, this would be good to use in mountainous areas. A bonus use in addition to its ham capabilities.

Well have to say... Very informative and thanks for a very well explained video on "Network radio". To be fair never been a fan of non RF based system. However after saying that, I am now in a location where there is no decent Repeater system... and I can see the value of this system.. cheers VK2ARO

Well done promote hobby good way To get interest from new younger phone users

I seen my self on there. LOL.. BTW Hold the back button will be a shortcut rather then keep hitting the back button. Good Video

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know of this product. I'm new to ham but interested in FM and DMR to start with. 👍🤓

Liked the video and the phone/radio. And they are not too expensive! My Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will eventually cost me $900! And it will not do what the T320 does or the MI or the K1 from RFinder. My next cell phone will be a cell/radio combo. Thanks for the video.

great blog , good info thanks

If it wasn't 50 bucks a month to service these things I would buy 2 of them

I appreciate you making this video it is very informative...except it would have been better if you had spent a little time showing us how to setup Teamspeak

Your videos are always appreciated, can you suggest the best Zello phone on the market today. Thanks.

Nice video. Thanks

Very good Aproach. I'm Able to connect these Networlk radios (with GPS) on my GPS Platform. In my Personal Opnion Zello is Banwidth eater , there are some others methods to avoid this glitch specially if you switch from 4LTE to 3G networks environments (specially in 3rd world conutries),

Preaching to the converted here. I class myself as a communicator. As someone said in QSO the other day, we should ditch the name Amateur Radio and use something like Hobby Communications instead (encompassing Radio). I am not in a good place for RF, although I do some QRP CW from time to time. If I run any decent power, I cause havoc with local TV receivers. So network radio is ideal for me when I'm at home. When out and about, I have plenty of handhelds to access the local repeaters. I don't mind how I get in, as long as I'm communicating :-) Currently, I use TeamSpeak and Zello on my iPhone, but Im looking forward to trying out the T320 I have on order. Thanks for a great, positive video. 73 de G0TDJ

External antenna port? Do any cell phones have a port to connect to antenna? Old Nokia had a connection to roof top antenna great connection very few dropped called

How long does it take to charge via the usb. 73's Alan in the UK

And now the only thing that I'm looking yet either do than FCC license required for any of these systems cuz I plan on using Zillow if possible and I was just wondering about the other programs that you were discussing about thanks for putting the link in the description again it's very very appreciative God bless

There is a buntch of GMRS users one Zellow also that has the Repaters linked in to Zellow .

How’s aftermarket support on these? Regular updates etc?

and I was also wondering if whether it comes with Zillow installed or with a radio program walkie-talkie program installed also on the phone thanks God bless have a blessed day and I'm waiting for replies

Any idea how much RAM the T320 has? Not talking about storage but RAM for programs to use. Trying to decide between this and the Radio Tone RT-4.

Do you know if these would work with Sprint DTC+, looking to replace my companies POC phones and want to get something that allows multiple apps and a transitional phase from DTC+ to a different app that is more open across platforms to allow us to link up with other companies while working together.

Can you enter UHF /VHF frequencies directly using the keypad?

and I'm talking about also Zillow I see you talk about something else of course I'm going to listen again even though I guarantee I already heard it but I'm talking about Zillow being able to use yellow on one of these guys anyway God bless thanks

Once I get my ticket I'm just going to use plain hf, vhf and uhf. But if this version of a radio can do everything in bfe then I'll consider it but what concerns me I will have to subscribe to a service to use this smartphone radio.

Do you know if it will work using the Android IAX rpt that allstar link uses?

Hey. Does this phone have a full-fledged radio station? Does the radio station work without the Internet?

The other big problem with using a 3G device versus a 4G device is Android 4 vs Android 7 (respectively). An Android 7 device will likely work with 8. But an Android 4 device... you’re likely stuck there. That can be a pretty big problem for long term usability. I’m waiting for a 4G/LTE that has UHF DMR... THAT will be what causes me to buy one... It’ll work up at my cabin

Hi. Do you know the button combination to do a hard reset on this radio?

Hi there and thanks for the video. I use this device for almost 2 months, and very often if I get a call, it makes a loud noise and I can't hear the messy. I need to press the repeat button to hear it. Do you have any idea why is this happening? Thanks in advance

I Just Bought a pair of the T320s and just want to be able to talk to my son from NY to Florida what Sim card do I use and from what carrier ??????

Big thumbs up..

What about the UHF version?

do you know if I can get the latest version of Android on these types of phones and was just curious and what providers can I put it on like AT&T T-Mobile or both just out of sheer curiosity I was just curious to know thank you for sending me the link although I did try it and it did send me to the correct website and I just didn't know what to do on there because I just didn't know what to do and I had this question beforehand can I get the latest version of Android on a phone like this because I the last thing I need is for apps to stop working that's the last thing I need anyway get back to me God bless thank you very very much and I really appreciate it

Hi. I just got the Inrico S200 and I wonder if I should return it and get this radio instead. Why? Because I read that the S200 has only 27h of Standby and this one is supposed to have 80h. Can you confirm this? Thank for posting.

some screens look bigger but they are all 2.4 inch blue tooth keyboard helps.

Thanks Eric very interesting. Alan G8TQK.

Does this have zello and analog frequency?

Hi! - is this the same as: Inrico T320 4G/Wifi (android 7.0), thanks, Levi in Sweden

How do you get the two side buttons to work

Any updates, does it work on DroidStar or Peanut?

I have a Cat S60 Phone with a PTT Button Feature, this Phone also have a Thermal Camera,

So besides the antenna, is this just a ruggedized Android device?

Andis one more thing that's important here where the FCC license is required you know you got to let us know because people like me who are brand new to this kind of stuff I don't want to just get a radio and then find out hey I need to get an FCC license I want to know before I get the radio do I need an FCC license for any of these programs that you're speaking about and I also would like to know where to get this type of phone radio thanks God bless

Can you connect to a private like Grants Pass Oregon hub w2hr

Great

Its this model support ANALOG Walkie Takie UHF 400Mhz??

Can you use that phone on GMRS

I have a Cat S60 Phone with Push to Talk Button and it Builted like a Tank also have a Thermal Camera on it,

Hi I have noticed with this radio there is complaints of rattling when audio is coming from speaker. I am experiencing it myself.. How do we fix ?

I have a Cat S61 phone it also can be Use as a Network Radio with a PTT,

What if you registered with the IRN but are not a ham. What are you limited to doing?

can i use it as a voice recorder ? i record my own voice for my studies.

Is it a good phone? I’m looking for a dumb phone with an antenna.

New sub

Just have a question? Can anybody create an app for AGM RS radio on app that connects to any? The Amaras radio for Android and iOS just curious to know if such a thing is possible anyway thank you guys everyone God bless.

what sim card did you use because i have an unlocked phone and no one seems to be able to add to their network i keep getting sim card locked message PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

USA users. Please get a network radio that supports 4G or 4G LTE as most USA cellular carriers are discontinuing support for 3G devices by the end of this year, 2021.

installed teamspeak, installed crosslink server, showing a guest, i"m tryring to register my callsign with IRN but cannot find where, anyone able to help please, Mike

Interesting radio. Can I choose which DMR talk group to connect to from the radio? I'm thinking about this radio instead of a DMR HT and hotspot.

Poc radios are the cway ahead for commercial two way coms,,,they are way cheaper than setting up a radio network for truck or bus company or utility firm,,,ideal for national coverage or a town or city it makes sence,,kenwood and icom etc are alrrady onboard with there own ranges of poc radios that are pmr/lmr grade,,,why it took so long to take off i dont know as for years we have had cellular phone networks and ptt over cellular where a slot was allocated every time you keyed up to call someone on ptt,,popular in usa but never really took off in the uk and eu...but poc is becoming popular as way cheaper than have to pay for licence,repeater site fee,s etc.

I am a ham KE6MIT and have DMR license. I have T Mobile do I need a sim card from T Mobile? Great Video...

Some of these T320s have UHF or VHF transmit capability, I was looking for a video that showed the interface for VHF this on the phone. Since it has GPS, it seems like this would be a good tool to do APRS with as well, but maybe their is not an app for that yet. It seems like you could use this like a 2 m HT, with echolink via the app and internet, and as a phone. I think that it is only 3 Watts of transmit, but that is often enough. Has anyone tried using this phone as an HT, or with APRS?

dont rely on 1 of these in emergency situation as yu need wifi are sim signal great fun but as a prepper get a 2-70cm

I'm looking to get one of these and I was just wondering where to get it I ask somebody else on another RU-vid channel they gave me a website but I didn't see any of this type of walkie-talkie phones that you you guys are all talking about on that site if anyone could direct me to the proper sight I would appreciate it thanks have a blessed day

this is not inrico t298s? because there is a uhf.

Does this support nextel style PTT from way back?

Can this use wi-fi only instead of cellular? We have a cabin without cellular but we do have wi-fi/Internet available.

Comprei um deste vou fazer um vídeo em português muito importante seu vídeo muito bom sucesso sempre ..

The antenna is not for cellular service. it is only for the GPS receiver .

I don't usually call my cell phone as a HAM radio, so does a network radio.

How much?

I bought a similar product.

Would you perfer the Inrico T320 or T298s...the T298s has vhf or uhf cabability but is 3g only...the T320 is 4g but no vhf or uhf?

is still rather cool though.

Does anyone know how to hard reset this type of phone?

Is it working with zello?

IRN had its day in the sun, then we had Network radios that seems to have passed its peak.. Now the new kid on the block is Peanut... The numbers of operators is declining and with each new incarnation of networked amateur radio we become more fragmented...is this progress? Highly debatable....

what sim card do you run on you're t320? I have been thinking about getting one at some point, 73 KC9MLE in Wisconsin

IRN sounds good, but not available on iOS Have not found app

Only SIM 1 supports 4G. Rather than the issue of counterfeit models, it's a case of the firmware.

Looks like the broadnet radio's

Does this radio communicate with baofeng radios?

Great video. I can't wait to see you do a review of the Talkpod N58. That will probably be the one I will get. Do you know if there are any USA sellers of these yet? I hate buying something from an overseas company. K5RDF

will DMR eventually turn into just another form of mobile phone!!?? I've tried DMR and I don't think is for me. Nout wrong with VHF,uhf and HF.... There's no school like old school...

this device and cell phones are radios, both use the cellular network. A traditional ham , amateur radio uses the radio waves. What happens when your internet connection goes down?

Can you send text via Walky talky

Teamspeak was shut down. That's what the emails they have sent me say, anyway...

I'm looking for almost if not the latest Android system Android 7.0 is actually almost at this point the latest system if somebody can let me know how to get a network phone that I can have Zello on it or any of these systems that are being discussed over here that's what I would greatly appreciate finally I found something that suitable to me and thank you guys for making this video is it greatly appreciated I'm not looking for Android 4 or Android 3 or Android to Android 5 or Android 6 I'm looking for something that almost is the latest version if not the latest version of Android that actually has a network walkie-talkie in it I would be looking for Android 12 if it would be such a thing the latest version of what I'm actually looking for but of course I'll settle for two versions prior but that's what I'm looking for and I think you guys answered my call and somebody can let me know where to get this thing I would greatly appreciate it thanks have a blessed day

Can the phone talk? Blind ham here.

a friend of mine purchased the mobile version and was pleased with it. we found out that it also works with the remote hams.com app RcForb and my friend can connect to my Remote HF station. easy HF mobile. I might have to get one myself. 73 KF5GXZ

Hey from the Philippines here. Makes me want to go back and have license renewed. DY7AQZ

Thanks for the video I could use that type a radio as well everyone has a cell phone and I need a new cell phone I could kill two birds with one stone 73 from VE6DCV

dont see exactly where to go to sign up for IRN for free

actually the antenna is for GPS only

That’s a cool radio; too bad it costs too much. [Weirdly the two too(s) are proper English]
