𝑮7𝑰𝙕𝑼 𝑹𝙍𝑫<p>Radio Software</p><p>I use Zello to link audio received on multiple SDR radios at home to my phone when I'm out and about. </p><p>Channels on the SDRs are fed via virtual audio cables to the Voicemeeter audio mixer, which has a remote macro addon which I use to prioritise some channels over others by having one channel mute others if they're active together. The mixer output is fed to Zello and Zello uses "vox" mode to key the "transmitter". </p><p>On 25th June Zello pulled support for the older free Zello PC app I used, and the service stopped working. Thank fully there's a workaround, as Zello are continuing free use for Friends and Family using the mobile app. </p><p>By running Zello mobile on the Bluestacks Android emulator in Windows, I can continue to use the facility.
