Thanks you for the vid, you answered my questions about dual sim? YES mobile and network radio YES. Excellent work, please make more, very informative 👍
For the PTT button issue. Go into Zello, options, push to talk buttons. Select the Hardware button, uncheck the box that says "Handle button in the background when possible". Enjoy.
Hi Tony, great video, I've just been looking for information on this radio, and you popped up, I'll catch you on the local channel over Christmas, cheers for now mate, 👍
Nice video. I have the T320 but like some chunkiness to my handhelds so for network radio I prefer the Radiotone RT4. This also looks like a very thin device so will probably pass but the on/off on the volume dial is something I've been wishing for now for ages.
Hi Tony. Ive got the same looking speaker mic as you. However when i paired mine it only works as a bluetooth speaker and the mic is mute. Iam using Zello. Any ideas ? Thanks
Go into zello, settings and assign a ptt button. Then when you see hardware button, remove it. It will still work but it won't pop up when you use peanut or teamspeak. I did that on my T320
Hi. First, nice video. Thanks for posting. Second, what is this for? I am confused? I understand that you need a SIM card and an app like Zillo in order to use these radios. But doesn't a cell phone do exactly that!? So why buy a radio like this? Back in the days when cell phone plans were expensive, I can see getting one of these, but today, plans are so cheap, is it worth getting a network radio? Or am I missing something here? Besides, you can use an app like WhattsApp as well and talk for pretty much free. It uses very little data so the lowest data plan will do... Thanks.
Doesn't anyone remember Nextel? Maybe it was only in America but this is just a better iteration of Nextel. Cellular radios are amazing for logistical dispatch and construction work. They work great for bike messengers taxi drivers etc.. plus it's much tougher than any cell phone. You can use it with gloves when it's below zero. Whatsapp is not even close
@@tonybutcher7829 most of the time to save taking a 2nd Device out with me i will use my rt4 to make and receive calls, especially when out on foot or on my bike so for me it would be a pain, but yes I know most will still just carry a Mobile phone for call's.
Hi Tony you said the belt clip is not very good, could you tell me what the mounting hole centres are for it please? I want to see if I can get a klick fast fitting for it before ordering the radio
The hole will take a Anytone 868/878 belt clip. The mounting holes are set 3cm apart (That's centre to centre) I do know someone that has managed to get the correct Klikfast, and I am waiting for him to send me the link and I will post it on here.

You can log into Zello without PTT4U. I use Wifi when at home and sim card when out and about. Quite a few of us have the S200 over here in UK and works with our cell networks. We buy them from a company called Radiocommz at around £180 British Pounds.
No licence required as its basically a mobile phone app. There are dedicated phones/radios (S200 etc.) They either use the cell network (if you put a sim in) or home/mobile wifi or via your phone data plan to start off with.
CZcams etc. is installed as standard. I have remove all the non essential apps, (CZcams, Contacts Phone etc) as I do not require them and it frees up a lot of memory. The handset will function as a phone but as described in my video there is no small speaker for private conversation as you would use on a normal phone, only a loudspeaker. For private calls I would use a bluetooth headset or like I do use a normal phone.

Love it I’m absolutely buying one, as I’m not allowed any CB or ham radio Ariel up in my housing association rental.
Good, glad you like it. I have put in the debloated firmware in mine.
@@tonybutcher7829 thanks 🙏
More than happy with my t320 that I've only had a few days.
I'm also loving the bo1 speaker/mic to
i just got one, cant get any sound from it at all and no idea how to hard reset the device as it has no volume buttons?

Really good description, does the blue bar on the bottom do anything or is that just for show and what make is your mic 😊
The Blue bar just separates the six buttons. I use an Inrico Bluetooth Speaker mic at around £40 from Radiocommz.
@@tonybutcher7829 brill thanks so much for the quick reply 😊
you can not program the ornage button
Hi Tony. Ive got the same looking speaker mic as you. However when i paired mine it only works as a bluetooth speaker and the mic is mute. Iam using Zello. Any ideas ? Thanks
There should be a speaker display in bottom left hand corner of display. There is 3 setting. 1 is for Bluetooth.
The speaker mic I don't get. Why not just use the speaker and your phone if your going that way. You still need to charge and carry two devices
Very interesting video 👍

Hi Tony. You did ok on the video. How is the audio with the speaker on the back ? Is it clear and loud like the 320. Thanks.
Yes audio is very good. I only use speaker mic in wagon, keeps me fairly legal as not picking up handset.
@@tonybutcher7829 Thanks Tony. I think i will get one along with the bluetooth mic. Thanks for your quick reply.
I think an issue for some may be that there is no small front speaker for when you receive a phone call, other than that it looks great.
I think most people will use it on Zello rather than phone. Didn't hear many using the T320 as a phone.

@@tonybutcher7829 thanks Tony I was just going to send you the link. I bought one of the posts for my Hytera, it's a good quality part.
Dam that link doesn't work now
Tony do you have working link for battery cover please
do you need PTT4U in order to work the PTT , or can you log into Zello with out the PTT4U service (just over wifi)?
You can log into Zello without PTT4U. I use Wifi when at home and sim card when out and about. Quite a few of us have the S200 over here in UK and works with our cell networks. We buy them from a company called Radiocommz at around £180 British Pounds.
I'm thinking of getting 1 in a couple of weeks definitely want the battery cover and clip is there any links or suggestions please
Comes with battery cover and clip. I just foundthe clip a bit flimsy, so put in a case with a Klik Fast connection.
@@tonybutcher7829 any recommendations
How can I power up my s200 how you do a safe mode cuz it won't power up
I don't know about a safe mode. perhaps if you take out the battery for 5 mins might reset it.
You got a link to better clip cheers
Is there possible to instal different comm app from Play Store than the preinstalled Zello?
Yes. I have other comm apps on mine.
@@tonybutcher7829 Could I ask you to try one specific app for me, please?
@@jansafarik313 If it works on your mobile phone then it should work on the S200.
@@tonybutcher7829 Yes, it does. Okay, thanks.
im in the USA, do you need a ham license for these types of devices?
No licence required as its basically a mobile phone app. There are dedicated phones/radios (S200 etc.) They either use the cell network (if you put a sim in) or home/mobile wifi or via your phone data plan to start off with.
Don't you remember Nextel? Same thing just a much more advanced iteration
Any ideas if you can shut off the green flashing light?
You cannot shut off the green light. Best suggestion is a piece of tape over it, or get a cover.
@@tonybutcher7829 Thanks for the reply!
Can you change the antenna on this?
Yes for another cellular antenna.
So is range an issue with these ?
There is no issue with range. They use the cell towers, not rf for communications.
remove the handle button in background option in zello easy.
hi rou/dave i hope you got the sweets as i did tnx jeff m0prf ..
opps sorry tony .. jeff
Can you hook it up to CZcams
How do you mean?
@@tonybutcher7829 down load the CZcams app and can I connect to my phone number
Yes you can watch CZcams and the only problem with phone side is that there is no small speaker. Ok with a bluetooth headset.
CZcams etc. is installed as standard. I have remove all the non essential apps, (CZcams, Contacts Phone etc) as I do not require them and it frees up a lot of memory.
The handset will function as a phone but as described in my video there is no small speaker for private conversation as you would use on a normal phone, only a loudspeaker. For private calls I would use a bluetooth headset or like I do use a normal phone.
