Description

Ok guys we thought this would be a good project and we have placed an order & looking forward to getting everything back. The total cost of this project is about $35 Australian dollars so $15 or so USD.
I have a Zello handheld the KSUN ZL710 and its cool but when I go out with it if I want to listen to real radio then I have to put my HT for HAM/GMRS in my bag as well… This solution may be a way to leave 1 at home???

The Idea is to link your Handheld Transceiver with Zello!! Yes we thought this is crazy as well so we wanted to try it and report back. Below you will see 2 cables for some HT’s and I think even for Tidradio (will let ya know). The idea is to connect the cable to your android device then plug into your HT when a call from Zello is initiated through Zello it sets off the VOX on your radio and you can hear the person and reply through your radio!
For real radio heads this could be a small game changer and enhance your experience with you favourite Zello channels. On our Zello channel SWLQSL.Com we have people from 9 different countries & around 40 active members – this could be a great tool for them!
The cables are available on Ali Express and we are putting information and links for both below. They are like a Digirig cable (audio interface) for your handheld, enjoy 73’s CJ VK2021SWL – 43ST578 – WRYG735

To Us This Is Cool Because Its Just Like What HAMs & GMRS Guys Do With Their Hotspots! Now We Can Stay Connected To Our Zello Channel &

While Using Our Real Radio’s As Well!! (SEE It Working Watch Video)

Zello-k1 Cable Audio Interface Cable for BaoFeng UV5R UV-82 KENWOOD WOUXUN TYT (Zello on the mobile phone- Android, iOS)

Recommended applications for plug and play use:
Length: about 1-1.2m With adapter, it is used to convert OMTP standard to CTIA standard. When you use the vox function of your walkie talkie, please set it to vox1,vox2,vox3,vox4,vox5,vox6,vox7,vox8, vox9, vox10, Not all vox can activate intercom transmission。

Each one needs to be operated。because only in this way can you activate the vox function ~! Do not use other instruments to measure the circuit, because there are many components in it, which cannot be connected through the instrument to measure the circuit. Do not say it is a quality problem because it cannot be measured.

A simple way to start using zello by using devices you already own. The zello-K1 Cable will quickly connect your radio to zello by using virtual TNC (app driven) on your tablet or device. The zello-K1 cable is built with a custom circuit board that will automatically adjust the audio for clear packet transmissions with minimal adjustment; along with protecting your devices from strong over modulated signals.

Along with allowing zello functionality the zello-K1 cable can provide a simple interface gateway to allow several features to your radio! Easily record radio conversations: By connecting the zello-K1 cable between your radio and any recording (line-in) device.

Use the zello-K1 cable as a Mic In Connector: Set up VOX on your radio to accept any form of incoming audio – such as a Push-to-talk application on a Phone – or a Line-out application from your computer.

Use the zello-K1 cable to push transmissions over a speaker system: Easily play audio over a intercom or speaker system from your handheld.
With a backup radio and your own ingenuity, the zello-K1 cable can serve as an interface for a variety of applications for any amateur.

Compatible with Kenwood K1 Accessory Slot Radios (such as BaoFeng, Kenwood, Wouxun, TYT) Compatible with all phones, tablets, and computers with 3.5MM Audio In/Out Ports
