Zello Android VOX Support

Intro

Zello is frequently used to link two-way radios with mobile phones or computers via the Internet. TX and RX control is usually controlled using VOX, which is NOT ideal, but very simple to implement. (You just need a passive cable)

Of course, VOX must be supported and configured on both sides; Zello and two-way radio transceiver.

VOX feature in Zello

Is only available in desktop PC app, which makes the whole system very complicated, vulnerable and a little more expensive.

For PC setup You need:

  • PC w/ Windows
  • License for Windows
  • UMTS/LTE modem
  • Router w/ USB modem support
  • Audio Cable
  • Two-way transceiver
  • Low-noise power supply

Luckily, Zello is available for Android. Unfortunately, VOX feature is NOT available.

For Android phone setup You need:

  • Android phone
  • Audio Cable
  • Two-way transceiver
  • Low-noise power supply
  • My naughty workaround to enable VOX feature

TLDR --->> Enable VOX for Zello Android app <<---

Step-by-step:

  • Open Android Market and download application "Automate"
  • Tap on menu icon (three gray vertical squares), tap "Import"
  • Import this workflow (click to download)
  • Tap on workflow called VOX, tap start
  • Open Zello app, open contact where You want to broadcast. (screen with large MIC button)
  • Test it like me on Youtube
  • If it works don't touch it. Get away, leave it alone. OR Send me a message, try to fix it ;))
