Zello ROIP

[Pdmarter]

Has anyone setup a zello feed using a ROIP (Radio Over IP) gateway for streaming a radio channel? I was looking at doing it with a rasberry pi but decided not to. The radio does have a 3.5 jack out on it for audio.

I know this post is older but I have many times over. If your still wanting my experimental info hit me back I’ve learned some tricks along the way

The new Zello Bridge connects directly to JPS units.

Correct it does however some only have funds to operate budget wise

Just use the standard desktop gateway if you are using VOX. Zellostream by Andy Knitt supports one-way zello channel for Linux.

Can we define “gateway”? To me, that implies two-way communication between a radio frequency and a zello channel. When there is activity on the radio frequency it is passed to the Zello channel. Likewise, when there is activity on the zello channel it is passed (through a radio transmitter) to the radio frequency. This two-way communication can be done but is a little complex to set up.

Setting up a scanner or radio to stream its audio to a Zello Channel is relatively easy (one-way communication.)

Can you share or is this proprietary?

This is a gateway. The gateway can be used one-way or two-way.

Your information would be great!!

Yes, I use a JPS RSP-Z2 and it works flawlessly.

Any chance to contact you relative to your JPS RSP-Z2 setup?

Hello,

I'm trying to setup Zello for our fire department. Currently, we have a NX-5700 with 25-pin connector to NXU-2B and Networked to a switch on our network and the computer with Zello bridge is installed. I don't think something is setup correctly. I cannot get the API to create nor the NXU-2B to activate when the radio is keyed or hears any traffic. Basically, I'm back to square 1 trying to set this up. Can someone help me out setting this up for the radio (I have licensed software to the department to make changes). And I don't know if I have the correct software installed. Trying to get this up and running before our trial expires.

Thank you
Chief

Did you ever get this working? I am running the same setup for a local FD.

Call JPS and they have excellent support. You have to set the TOR/COR and PTT options. Message me and I will send you a codeplug for the NX700 series.

We have the RSP-Z2 connected to a Motrbo radio with good results. I also have an older NXU-2A to a XTL 2500 which uses a mini-PC to run the connector bridge. That seems to work well. But I will defiantly take you up on the NX-700 codeplug. We have a customer that will need that for their system. I will message you my email address.

I'll check and see why it is restricted.

For anyone else interested, here is how to direct connect to your PC. The relay is not needed if you use a USB-to-serial adapter. Get a USB to serial because using a built-in com port grounds the pin when the PC loses power or on restart.

Would your PC then run the dispatch app, or the connector bridge software?

You run the legacy Windows app under release archives. Get it configured correctly, and then import the config file into ZelloBridge.

Is there a solution for the Raspberry Pi for Zello for Roip? I know it's possible to setup a Roip using Windows and a Audio interface to radio side. Thanks

I run a Zello RF gateway into my amateur radio system. I would not recommend Zello for Fire Department use. If a Zello user is in a poor cellular coverage area, I have seen both TX and RX audio delayed by several minutes. It caused confusion. As a former USMSS radio technician, I would not advise using Zello to extend your radio coverage due to the Zello design (delays by design).

I have four counties and two parishes on my Zello for Work. We have never had that happen in four years. That's like saying you shouldn't have multiple channels/talkgroups in your radio because you might get on the wrong channel/talkgroup and miss traffic.
