Review on ๐ŸŽ™ iTalkie - Wireless Bluetooth PTT Speaker Microphone for Improved Zello PTT Communication by Kip Robinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It works great as a walkie talkie. Solidly built.

Works and feels like a quality radio. However, I have a few problems with it. Sometimes it disconnects from the Zello app and needs to be "launched" to get it working again. This is when iTalkieDaemon is running and in the foreground when the phone goes to sleep. I'm pretty sure it's an application issue, not a hardware issue. Another issue is that I have two Wi-Fi networks at home with the same SSID and password and the Zello app doesn't switch smoothly between the two networks. I even installed the WiFiSwitcher app which helped a bit but it's frustrating when the Zello app doesn't respond to the PPT button. I'll probably go back to the FRS radios I used before I bought them.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Almost never
