Thank You Zello !
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 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 ;))
Final setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8xn8kWucDk
Troubleshooting
Check these:
- Automatic screen locking
- Insufficient permissions for Zello and Automate
- Automate sleeps in background
How I managed to make this work ?
Here is some official documentation:
