eQSO Gateway – PMR Radio
Developer: Paul Davies, M0ZPD
eQSO Gateway – PMR Radio is a lightweight application that bridges local PMR handhelds to the worldwide eQSO voice network. With a modest PC, a sound card, and a simple interface to your PMR transceiver, it lets nearby users talk to operators in eQSO rooms across the internet—ideal for community nets, demonstrations, and event support.
Key features:
- Straightforward gateway between a PMR radio and eQSO rooms/servers
- Sound card audio with VOX/COR support and optional serial/USB PTT control
- Adjustable input/output levels, squelch, hang times, and tail clipping
- Auto-reconnect, keep-alives, and watchdog timers for reliable 24/7 operation
- Local/remote DTMF control for connect/disconnect and basic functions
- Status display and logging for monitoring and troubleshooting
- Small footprint and low latency for smooth, unattended service
Typical uses:
- Linking local PMR users to wider eQSO communities
- Club training and technology demonstrations
- Temporary field or event gateways
Basic requirements:
- Windows PC with a full‑duplex sound card and internet connection
- PMR transceiver with a simple audio/PTT interface (use audio/PTT isolation where possible)
Important:
- Always comply with your local regulations. Some jurisdictions restrict connecting license‑free PMR services to external networks or using non‑integral antennas. Verify what’s permitted in your area before operating a gateway.
- Carefully set audio levels and PTT/VOX to avoid feedback or unintended continuous transmission.
