Wow. First off, found you through Steve Stroh's Zero Retries--glad for that. I've had my ClearNode for ~19 months and my ClearZero for nearly a year and I've not accomplished a fraction of what you've done with yours. I do use HamShackHotline (55 . . . 6) and Hamsoverip (1XXXX5) both on the same Yealink phone I bought from a ham on QRZ. I'll be going through your posts more carefully trying to learn what you've done. I'm retired and since Covid don't travel much so my use cases are probably somewhat different. 73 de K3FZT / Steve
You are being very kind in your comments! Welcome! I'm on this journey, too, and I expect to retire within the next few years. Part of the reason I'm investing time in some of these things (besides enjoying the learning) is preparing for retirement and being more mobile. That brings its own challenges to "playing radio" :-)
I just discovered that I can connect to other nodes through my hub-in-the-cloud by sending DTMF commands via DVSwitch Mobile on my smartphone. I'll be testing that tonight and tomorrow morning!
Very interesting. With my node/hub-in-a-cloud server, I can connect with DVSwitch on my smartphone using DTMF commands. DVSwitch has user programmable macros, making it easy to connect and disconnect from other nodes. What this means is that I can connect without having to use my ClearNode device...which is perfect when I'm traveling.
Next to learn: how to make a node private so that it is available for my use when I want it.
And today I ordered a Cisco SPA303 (refurb, grade A) from PC Liquidations. That will arrive in the next week to two weeks, then I'll send the details along to Hamshack Hotline and wait for my activation information. I expect that I'll try to add a regular SIP line to it, too, so that I can make/take calls from regular phones :-)
