Get KeyUp

Set up a radio bridge (Beta)

Create the bridge in the dispatch console, then install and test the gateway next to the radio.

Each bridge links one room to one radio. The gateway uses a private token to join the room.

Create the bridge

Dispatch console

  1. In the dispatch console, open Radio bridges › Add.
  2. Fill in the name, room, KeyUp to radio and Radio to KeyUp, Send open mic to the radio (off by default), hang time, transmit limit and end of message tone.
  3. Tap Create bridge. Copy the token (shown once) and the starter config.
The Add a radio bridge form filled in with a sample name and room.

Radio bridges.

Run the gateway

Gateway computer

  1. Download the gateway package for your computer from the Radio Bridge download page. On Windows, unzip it and double-click install.bat (it needs Python 3.10 or newer and the internet once). On a Raspberry Pi, unpack it and run bash install-pi.sh.
  2. The installer asks the setup questions: the KeyUp address, the token (it is not shown while you paste it), your sound device, how the radio is keyed, and your call sign.
  3. Connect the USB interface to the radio. Test in this order: the device list, the talk key test, the test tone, the level check (to set the squelch) and the station ID test (test-id), which keys the radio and plays your call sign in Morse once. Do the transmit tests only on your licensed channel.
  4. Start the gateway (start.bat on Windows, ./kr.sh run on a Pi) and set it to start with the computer (autostart-on.bat, or ./kr.sh enable).
  5. The console shows the bridge Online. Start with a listen-only session. If you want help, write to [email protected].
