- For
- Licensed amateur-radio operators and AllStar node owners
- Worth noticing
- The node-owner installer backs up Asterisk configuration files and, according to the page, never restarts Asterisk.
Field notes
The app's connection flow includes a status strip showing when someone is transmitting and which link the audio comes through, plus a timer and a warning at 30 seconds. For nodes that need the bridge, the listed installer command takes a node number, name, and public IP; the page says it backs up configuration files and does not restart Asterisk. The site also describes callsign-based invitations and removable member access.
