Had me confused when you referenced the "#" or "pound" sign as the asterisk symbol. But after I got over that slip this worked well for me.

Super helpful video. The HH document should have included a bunch of information you provided like the DMZ allow, button programming.... A really good add on video would be how to add a voip.ms phone line to your phone for less than a $1 a month (metered line so per minute charges apply).

Nice intro for me. I just found out about Hamshack Hotline tonight. When they mention IAX configs this sounds a lot like the asterisk server I have used in the past. I am eager to know more about this. I am a new ham and learning is the best thing about this hobby. 73 de KI5HXM Brent in Texas.

Followed your steps and got this running! Can't wait to figure out more stuff. Love that I can listen to art bell on it

Love the HH videos!! I have a 303, and your videos really make HH interesting! Keep ‘em coming. And by the way, an asterisk is the “star”, the other button is “pound”, or “crosshatch.”

Super cool yum yum radio time! I gotta get into this!

Brilliant video 👍🏻 Thanks very much. My phone arrives today 🎉

I have a 525G and a side car on the way, also for a plan B I have a 504G coming too.

Thank you so much!,!

Great setup video. I can’t wait to learn about HH. Will see more “what you can do with HH” videos?

Thanks great help

Thank you! Question, I have a 504G and although phone have line activated, no hotline logo is displayed at screen. Is that ok?

What’s ham shack hotline for ?

I'm new to learning this system. I have extensions for both HH and HOIP. Am I able to put both extensions on one phone?

I’m first, This is awesome! And I’m already subscribed...

Bril, just got my phone and waiting for my ticket to be cleared, not sure why I need it but I am sure it will develop as friend and the local club get on line too

Thnx for the short clip! I will be getting my SPA-303 tomorrow. Finally, for some reason, VOIP ports have been opened by my ISP, or something else has happened, as Zoiper (Android VOIP app) works all the time since last week. So I've decided to buy that phone off another ham user. I wonder how will this VOIP for ham users will evolve, if we will find a use of it, and how often will it be used. Sounds interesting anyways.

Is there a routing on/to the HamNet/AMPR Network? Can I plug a phone and provide a 44.x.x.x IP address?

How to add the contacts on the side directory buttons?

Great video, Matt. The string for programming quick call buttons does not work for my SPA525G2. The lines indicate a flashing orange button after rebooting. I'm sure this is a programming issue, but I don't know where to start troubleshooting. I've updated firmware for starters, but no joy.

I tried to set my phone up around November 15, 2020 and got my HHUS number, but every time I click the link to show the steps to provision, I get the "Support Ticket System Temporarily Closed" screen. Even when I try to log onto my account using their hyperlink, I get the "Support Ticket System Temporarily Closed" screen. Are they still in operation? I haven't been able to create a ticket since my initial attempt on November 15, 2020.

Thanks for the video. Is there a way to backup the configuration of your phone to a file on your computer ?

Quick call buttons, why does Line 1 have the number 1 and 2-5 have disabled? When you press the button is it suppose to immediately dial the number? I programmed Line Key 4 and when I press the button the number shows up in the menu but I still have to select 2 other things before it will dial.

Where is the string you said you'd put in the comments? I'd like to program a few extensions.

I noticed that your 525g is the EU version. I've been trying to find someone who knows if that phone will work in the US, but I guess your video answers that question. Can you tell me what the difference between the US and EU version would be?

So do I need to add the side car thing on phone or not

This is interesting. I have a question so if i have one Cisco at home with this Hotline can i call another Cisco phone at another home for free ?

The POE injector. What voltage and wattage capacity do I need to get?

Is there a master list of compatible phones to use. Just curious.

I just submitted a ticket with mac info. Am I suppose to wait for something to come back from hotline before I use the provisioning string shown above? Would it matter if it's a 504G and not a 525, would the string be the same?

can I provision a 3CX sip trunk instead? (and dial into it)??? ...I think so! = looks like I must get a ham radio + licence also... - looks ruddy good!!! :D

can this device Cisco SPA112 be used on Hamshack Hotline? When you buy one does it have to be UNLOCKED and at factory default?

Will the ham shack hotline work with Cisco 7841 K9 phones? So far it can only work as a Enterprise phone and not work with 3rd party systems.

Thank You. Is there anything else one would have to do to get a talk group on the phone. Add script via SSH, run another pi with ALL Star link software??

Matt -- dont have DMZ in my router and then click on a link ?? which link ?? with the IP address ?? XX's ??? -- I am lost -- N7JJY

TY for the videos on HH been great for getting started. One question I am using a SPA508g instead of the 525 you are using, but the string that you provided for quick call buttons does not work as intended. The busy lamp does not work when I have it in my string, and gives no light on the phone at all for the button, the line works as intended and the call can be made but the lights not working is my issue. If I take it out and only use the sd command the button works fine with the green light on the button(obviously no busy light). example fnc=blf+sd+cp;ext=5828@$PROXY (Not Working) zero lights on the button but call can be made fnc=sd;ext=5828@$PROXY (Working) Green light on the button but no busy notification

Quick call setup does not work on my SPA525G2

I got a question about these phone.

Some years ago, I was experimenting with BBHN mesh networking, and some of that included SIP functionality. Of course, that's only fun/useful if there's at least one other ham w/in range, so I could only call myself from garage to basement, LOL. ANYWAY... what with these VOIP phones being multi-line, I wonder if it's possible to set them up for dual purpose. Could it do HH and also Vonage (or other VOIP home-phone provider)?

set up completed and has been active for a week....not able to connect to any rf or even voicemail.....what else I need to do????

Quick question. I already have a pbx extension on my AREDN mesh. How do I add HH to the phone without destroying that?

Thanks for another great video! This is an interesting service I wasn't familiar with so I appreciate you sharing. On a side note: at 9:08 The star-key? That IS the asterisk. You pressed pound-sign to unkey the radio-link. 73 - VE3KLT

I could not find a list of compatable phones on the website

After this phone is setup and configured, can it be used to dial any number I wish to talk to in the USA?

If I wanted to could I have one PI running Hamshack hot line and another running Allstar?

I tried the provide quick call button string "fnc=blf+sd+cp;sub=5636@$PROXY;nme= Dan KB0TDW " didn't work for me. What did work was "fnc=sd;ext=5892@$PROXY;nme=Mac 5892"

Another issue is the Image I'm attempting to set up my PI 4 and PI 3. There's an issue. I get an error 00000044 from an image I download either via Etcher or Raspberry PI. I banging my head against the desk. GGrrr

Matt, thanks for the video, I have a question, I'm trying to config the extra buttons on my 525G for Pub1,2, and 3. I have it setup, and the buttons work (they dial the bridge), but they are blinking orange. I have SIP ALG disabled on the router. I also have an HHUX number and programed that into button 2, it displays a solid orange, Any ideas?

Talks about not showing mac an then shows it inthe web ui of the phone anyway.

Which TalkGroup is linked to the HH infrastructure?

Thanks for the video, having set up issues, is not having a POE my problem? I’m just using a power supply from the wall to phone, Ethernet from xfinity router to phone, I’ve tried everything..DMZ on/off, rebooting, I’m baffled...

Any reason my phone isn't waking up?

Facebook group paused for almost 1 month now. Discord invite did not work. Are they having political problems?

Just got mine now to play the waiting game until they add me of the network

Will a Cisco 7975 work for this?

Can you tell me the power wattage of your POE?

First . And yes I'm Subscribe 🙂
