ZELLO APP FOR STORM CHASING

[K Wyman]

Download the free Zello app, search channels with that name, and add. Super easy, no charge, this is the free version. All the paid versions are gone.

Take out the space after the slash. Zello is super finicky for some reason.

I Love Zello. It's made quite a bit of upgrades over the last year and now with the Network Radios gaining popularity especially. My Zello app always stays connected without any issues, the last update fixed any of those. I use the Zello app for communications with my Spotters/Skywarn group to communicate with the public to get info out and take storm damage reports. If you are a devoted Zello user i suggest the Inrico T320 network radio. Looks and feels like a walkie talkie with the added bonus of supporting any networks like EchoLink, Internet Radio Network, etc. Ham radio works great but not everyone is a ham operator but anyone can use Zello... It's greatly improved over the past year and recommend it for the people that may have had bad experience with it before to try it again. In the settings you can also set it to periodically wake up every so often to keep it alive and not sign out or lose connection. The ONLY gripe I have with Zello is after the January 6 incident at the Capitol they removed the search function so you have to know the exact channel name/link to find it. However channels also have their own QR code by default so you can also post those for others to quickly find the channel...

Was just wondering if anyone uses the ZELLO app to communicate during storm chases. When I had watched Barry Gray in some of his videos, I noticed that he was communicating to other chasers with his phone, but I didn't know what app he was using. I found out it is ZELLO. Does anyone have any positives/negatives about this program. @Warren Faidley we might want to download this app if it's pretty decent to use.

It's all I have used for about 7 years....works like a charm (data-dependent, of course).

I use Zello with a Bluetooth PTT microphone, acts just like any other handheld radio. Never had any problems with it.
