Zello is a free walkie-talkie app for smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers. The app requires an Internet connection to work properly, whether it’s through Wi-Fi or a mobile data network. Unlike the standard calls you can make on the device of your choice, Zello connects you to fellow users and radio channels where large groups can talk regardless of distance. At Belchamps we are using an N60 Network Radio, it looks like a Transceiver because it has a Microphone with a press to talk, but a more like an android phone.

You can find out more about Zello, and download the free app from www.zello.com
