So they are using the free zello with a radio gateway? Because the zello for work is definitely a paid per user subscription. Volunteer / part time or whatever.... Zello should never ever ever ever be used for anything life safety related. For a department wide BS and non critical announcement 'channel' I could see it. Hate to think my life is riding on a department that uses a free roip service to communicate. If you're paying per user at least lease space on a local system. That would be far more reliable.
The Zello Free App in the gateway works with RS-232 in the TX mode, but not in the Vox Mode for Rec. Is this intentional to make it nonfunctional? Of course, the gateway mode is fully functionable with ZelloWork at $8 bucks per month per user with a minimum of 8 users. For Ham, Volunteer Rescue, GMRS Users Zello Free App is dysfunctional.
Without the Gateway mode relying on VOX unless you buy a box from China to make it somewhat work just sucks. If you use ZelloWork it will not cross over to the Free Channels. The Zello Free App is a Curse rather than a tool. Bottom line it would be worth paying a smaller fee for noncommercial use to have the premium Gateway on the free app even if it was limited users..
