01/12/2025 Zello Crosslink

Zello xlink is no longer available on FreeDMR VOIP Ireland. The Zello channel is still available to use as a stand alone channel.

Deprecated Zello Versions

Update: Zello xlink is no longer available on FreeDMR VOIP Ireland. The Zello channel is still available to use as a stand alone channel.
Effective 25 June 2025 Zello is deprecating older Zello app versions:

• Android app versions older than 6.0.2 (Note: newer versions no longer support Android OS versions earlier than 7)
• iOS app versions older than 6.1 (Note: newer versions no longer support iOS versions earlier than 14)
• Legacy PC app – all versions

To continue using Zello, update your Zello app to a supported version

For this reason we will be disabling the Zello crosslink to FreeDMR VOIP Ireland untill a solution is found. We use the legacy PC app to bridge the Xlink and this will stop working on the 25 June 2025. We'll keep you updated here when a solution is found.
