Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ham Voicing?

It is an amateur-radio internet digital-voice client for three networks β€” M17, EchoLink and AllStarLink. You connect over the internet, pick a reflector, room or node, and key up to talk with real operators β€” with or without a rig. It is a client for networks you already belong to.

Which networks are supported?

Three: M17 (open Codec2 voice), EchoLink and AllStarLink. M17 and EchoLink are verified on real hardware. AllStarLink is early and still being proven β€” expect rough edges there. No other voice network is included.

Do I need a license and my own accounts?

Yes. A valid amateur radio license is required to transmit, and you operate within your own privileges. Ham Voicing is a client for networks you already belong to β€” bring your callsign and the credentials (IDs / node numbers / passwords) for each network you use.

Why does the app need microphone access?

The microphone captures your voice while you are keyed up on push-to-talk (tap to key up, tap again to unkey) so it can be sent to the network. Audio is captured only while you transmit, and is not recorded or stored. Without mic access you can still listen but not transmit.

What else does the app ask permission for?

Network access, to reach reflectors, rooms and nodes β€” including local-network access, so it can reach a node or hotspot on the same Wi-Fi. On Android 13 and later it also asks to post notifications, which is what carries the ongoing notice while the app keeps receiving in the background. Audio is processed entirely on your device; no voice reaches a Unixeer server. The full list is in the privacy policy.

Where do my callsign, grid, email and passwords go?

They are stored only on your device β€” secrets like network passwords in the device secure store. We (Unixeer) never receive them. Your callsign and voice are sent only to the third-party network you choose to connect to.

Is my transmission private?

No β€” on the air, amateur radio is public. Through the networks' gateways your voice and callsign can be received by anyone, and the networks are operated by independent third parties with their own policies.
