Simple UHF radio to mobile phone Crosslink using Zello

Quick vid of a Crosslink I've setup for UHF radio to Zello app on mobile phone here in Australia. (The Zello Channel shown in the video is Password protected & users are required to be "authorised" by the system administrator to be able to transmit on it from their mobile data device).
This type of Crosslink is very simple to setup, & is very effective! I can be almost anywhere in Australia & use my mobile phone to transmit over UHF two way radio & vice versa!
Some types of two way radios (such as the TYT MD-380) have VOX built into their menu system so you don't need an external VOX controller like I have for this particular Icom IC-41 Pro as shown in the video. Obviously radios such as the TYT MD-380 are for licenced Amateur Radio use only.
It's espescially handy for volunteer emergency service organisations as it allows it's members to monitor (& record) all two way radio transmissions from their mobile device or PC. Members can also use the screen PTT on their mobile device, Bluetooth device or the space key on their PC to transmit voice back over the two way radio network from anywhere in Australia either via mobile data or WiFi (using Broadband Internet). Channels can be secured & locked down so only certain people can access them. You can also set it not to allow transmissions & use it purely as a "radio scanner" should you choose to do so.
Search RU-vid for other vids on the Zello Walkie Talkie app! Also search eBay for Zello accessories so you dont have to touch your mobile phone to use it. Zello is an extremely powerful communications tool! You can download Zello FREE (its also ad-free) for IOS, Android & Windows PC. Also, Zello uses bugger-all data & can sometimes get the message through when your mobile phone calls can't (fringe reception areas, overloaded voice call Cell system etc).
Don't forget, Zello must have some sort of Internet connection to work! Even a weak connection may still work!
Please note, under ACMA Class Licencing you cannot Crosslink UHF Citizens Band frequencies to data & vice versa (you cannot use a mobile data device to remotely transmit your voice over PUBLIC frequencies without special permission from the ACMA). You can however transmit via mobile data device (within Australia) over a privately licenced radio frequency).

Hi, Sir, great video. Sir,please tell me,which one frequency use uhf or vhf for the mobile calls listening?

@Pops_607 3 года назад

You should make them and sell the cords. I would buy one..... Great job!!

@fssaustralia6058 2 года назад

I only had to make a special lead because it was an Icom radio. Most other radios you can use something off the shelf. I've tried this with a TYT MD-380 DMR/Analog radio without the little VOX box on the lead and it works fine.

Do you keep that radio in charger 24/7 ? Doesnt that destroy the battery after awhile. ?

@FelixLantiguaCamacho Год назад

Is there any device you can connect a computer into your repeater (between interface cable). I got my zello channel linked to my repeater, but I`m using a portable radio. I would like to not use that portable radio.

@vennyrubyflores9133 2 года назад

Venerable Flores I have an existing radio network using vhf and uhf bands. And I am planning to add this PoC LTE radio to my network. Can you suggest how can I integrate my analog radio network to that PoC LTE radios.

@truestpain 2 года назад

My thing is. HOw would I use just my HT and/or mobile unit while I am driving around out of range of the actual repeater but still be able to transmit/receive via Zello without actually using my phone to transmit/receive ? I want to use my radio equipment to where I could PTT and transmit/receive with the assistance of Zello to extend range. Is that possible? I hope i've made sense - this can all get a little confusing.

Hi, dou you hava a product link to where we can buy those zello accessories for cross linking ie; The wire plug and if theres anything else needed in order to crosslink the analog radio to zello. Thanks in advance..

Or please provide a list of accessories needed for crosslinking of analog radio to zello... thanks..

@karolisjurkevicius2670 4 года назад

Hey, I came to the same cross link idea, tried to build it myself, but can't get it working. I think, the problem is, that 3.5 jack has only one GND, and the other end of my cable - Kenwood 2 pin connector has two separate grounds, one for the headphone and one for the mic. So, my walkie talkie is activating itself via vox and never stops transmitting. Or I might be wrong. It would be great to take a look at your wiring scheme.

Probably not legal for UHF CB.....although there are a few Aussie UHF CB repeater channels connected to Zello this way

@petermarshall7502 3 года назад

use mic in computer to speaker out radio and mic in radio to speaker out computer and set the vox on both radio and computer

@petermarshall7502 3 года назад

you will need a ground loop isolator tho for that radio or it will constantly transmit i use the gt5tp through laptop with zello

@irocstl8996 4 года назад

Could you use radio to radio through the Zello app?

@fssaustralia6058 4 года назад

Yes. For example, you could have 2 x radio users and 1 x Zello user on the same "network". The two radios could talk direct to each other, whilst the Zello user listens to both transmissions. The Zello user could also talk to either of the radio users.

@irocstl8996 4 года назад

So let’s say I have one Motorola radio VHF and I’m on one side of the city, and my friend has the same radios on the other side of the city, say 10 miles... if we have this hooked up this way would those radios work and cover the distance? Just trying to understand before I attempt it.

@ezralimm 4 года назад

Wait i dont get it. You are connecting LINE OUT to MIC IN. How does this even work? Dont you need a DI box to attenuate the signal? I wonder if I could jerryrig a downconverted signal to the mic-in 2.5mm plug on the iCOM.

@sethjenna2561 4 года назад

Won't it burn the radio out to stay on the charger? I'm a ham of 14 years. I've done this, and I like it. The problem is, I really don't like my town or the people in it. I do plan on moving ASAP, but I'm not very community oriented. The reason I might do this up now is to put the local electric company frequency in, and then anyone listening on Zello would know where they are when there's a power outage.

@fssaustralia6058 2 года назад

Thats correct....it would eventually bugger the radio battery, and the phone battery if they both left on the charger all the time.

What sort of cheap phone can do this? My phones don't even have a headset plug. I think you said Galaxy Samsung 9 These a bit expensive for a spare phone.

@ccsochp1 2 года назад

You can use Zello on the computer and just run a 3.5 mono cable from the computer mic port to the radio speaker port Works great and vox works fine on the computer.

@fssaustralia6058 2 года назад

Probably any phone that has a headset jack and can run Zello would work fine?

This video only refers to a hand held radio with an inbuilt VOX. This is the typical moron's set up. The reality is most people will want to use a mobile radio that does not have an inbuilt vox. Its getting that VOX circuit working with audio isolation, and more importantly power isolation to prevent AC hum getting into the system. VK3FTOM, yes, I have a ham call. I don't put it on youtube.

@kdevus 4 года назад

youre lucky, because if you did, i'd troll the shit out of you on HAM. And then pose as you and tell everyone how you like fucking sheep.

Sounds like someone has a chip on their shoulder! Let it go mate, there's bigger things to lose your mind over than this!

@ramjet4025 2 года назад

This video fails to get to the substance. Everyone knows what a transceiver is. Everyone knows what Zello is. The UNKNOWN, is what sort of phone or device can run Zello, and how is it powered. This scenario has no power supply. The radio and the "phone" will run out of power and go off. There is no mention or chart of the connections, which can be converted to any other radio. In a nutshell, this video is nuts.

@webchris2 2 года назад

Hey buddy, check the vid before you post? The phone and the radio is on chargers. But yes a wire diagram would be helpfull.

@ezralimm Год назад

Not really. The phone is on a wireless charger. Fine. The iCom is on a fixed charging cradle.... though using the iCom while charging will damage the battery long term.

@ramjet4025 4 года назад

Who is interested in ACMA or what frequency it is on? Your "Activation" is for the AUDIO from the radio to Zello. You failed to show the audio from ZELLO to the radio and how, the Transmitter is turned on. Then at 3:35 we see that you are cheating, that the 491 Mhz Radio is actually using its own VOX.... Another uselss ROIP video that should be removed. It fails to show the basic elements. I get sick of hearing about the Galaxy phone, the lighting you failed to check, the Frequency you use or the radio authority or your licence that you seem to be obsessed with.

@fssaustralia6058 2 года назад

Not sure what your point is? I'm not trying to sell the thing, just showing people that it can be done! I mentioned the commercial frequency I'm using is ACMA licenced....... firstly, because it actually is, and secondly, I was hoping it will stop the clowns out there like yourself from whinging about it being used on an illegal frequency! There's always one absolute TOOL out there that chooses to waste their time by commenting on videos with some stupid remark or opinion - sadly this time you were the only TOOL that felt the need to do this! What I normally do if I think someones RU-vid video is crap is MOVE ON to another video and not waste my time bagging them out! I suggest you use your time more productively and worry about things that are actually worth worrying about! And that 3" wide stick that's jammed up your arse, well I suggest getting someone to pull it out for you.........maybe you might smile a bit more if its gone! God bless your charming soul xoxoxoxoxoxo :)
