My Zello work setup (finally!)
Hey guys! I finally got around to sharing our setup that we use for Zello Work. It’s a quick little video of the equipment we use. Let me know if you guys want to see more or if you have questions!

Zello Gateway - How I set up an awesome gateway with minimal, cheap equipment.
มุมมอง 32K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Thanks for stopping by this new, KD9PCD Radio channel! I explain the device I use for a Zello Gateway and how I made the gateway a little bit better for my application. I am using a Motorola CDM-1250 VHF radio paired with an R1 Echolink Controller from BH7NOR Radio Studio. I also used a Harris XG-100P radio in the video. If you are looking to set up Zello for a first responder agency, check thi...

    I was like "isn't Zello a banking thing?" Google: How does Zello make money? The app itself is free and Zello makes money off of its commercial offering called ZelloWork, for which the company has about 1,000 business costumers. Think of it as a dispatch or communication service for companies with employees who don't typically sit at their desks - such as transportation companies.Sep 10, 2017 ---- Zello Work offers encryption for all one-to-one and channel communications. Consumer Zello only offers encryption for private messages, as channels are public and anyone can listen. What is a Zello work network? - Zello Help Center. A Zello Work network is a private domain created when signing up for Zello Work. Please choose your network name carefully when signing up for Zello Work, as you will have to create a new network in order to change the network name. After the creation of your network, you'll see your network name on the Dashboard. - Zello is a tech software company in Austin, Texas, U.S., known for the Zello app, which emulates push-to-talk (PTT) walkie-talkies over cell phone networks.

    Have you, by chance, set up a Zello for work channel with a scanner on it? 100% of my mutual aid neighbors are on different analog VHF frequencies and different dispatch centers. I'm trying to figure out what the user experience is on the phone. I have our primary dispatch channel on a JPS gateway (started 'home grown' and then got budget) so everyone is comfortable with the Zello app now but I'm thinking the phones will chirp the day away with the scanner traffic.

    • @DGR-vz8lj
      @DGR-vz8lj 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If all you’re wanting to do is scan, that’s extremely easy to do.. You could do it with a scanner or rtl dongle. Scanner, just use a standard 3.5mm cable from the scanner to the mic input of the computer (highly encourage using a $10 ground loop isolator), open an instance of Zello Work, add a gateway instance, and set the receive audio to the mic input of the 3.5 coming in. SDR, just run a dongle, whichever sdr software you like, and set a virtual cable to the input instance of Zello Work with the same steps as the scanner input. You can go into the setting of the Zello app on your phone and turn off all the annoying chirps and alerts. I Hope that helps.

    Question: Can you show how the small PCB connects to the back of the Motorola radio? I am interested in setting this up on a Motorola XTL2500 or an XTL5000 but I am not sure if the PCB will work or if I need to pin out specifically for those models.

    • @kd9pcdradio
      @kd9pcdradio ปีที่แล้ว

      You would need to pin specifically for those models. I’ve not found a device on the market that is plug and play for the XTL series. If you contacted a company like RoxiTech, they would likely have that cord available with their Zello setup, but nothing readily available to buy that I’ve found.

    Now does the phone have to be on the same network WiFi wise as the host computer ? Interested in this for our volunteer EMS squad. We use a vhf repeater along with a separate trunking system. Would be neat and helpful for our squad members to have access to the vhf repeater without carrying a radio

    • @kd9pcdradio

      Nope, any internet connection will do. That was kind of our thoughts too, we have a VHF repeater with poor coverage among our entire area. We have this app on our truck iPads, truck smartphones, and employee phones. They can access the radio channel from anywhere they have internet.

  • @olderookie

    Does the CDM allow for local control as well? Can you use the mic and access the radio network through the radio or is it no longer usable as a “base” radio.

      When I contacted RoxiLink, they advised me that I could pretty much choose any radio, as they had cables to fit 95% of radios in use by public safety. The Kenwood TK-790 that I used for my work setup had to have some soldering work in order to make it compatible. With the EchoLink R1, the only radios I believe it’s compatible with are the Motorola radios with 16 or 20 pin connectors on the back, so the CDM series was the easiest for me to use. It then only had some programming modifications that it needed.

    • @kd9pcdradio
      @kd9pcdradio 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly, they both have seemed to work identically well. However, I think the RoxiLink probably lends to more radio applications. When I was talking with them, they told me that they pretty much have a cable for any radio. I’ve only been able to find a cable for the R1 that interfaces with a Motorola 16 (or 20) pin connector. Otherwise, I think both work equally great! The RoxiLink has a little advantage on the cable because it’s only one USB for the audio, where the R1 is 2 USB cables, but other than that 🤷‍♂️
