How to get on a node

  1. Enter your callsign. Hamhop checks it when you connect.
  2. Type a node number, callsign or city. Hamhop shows whether the node takes app connections.
  3. Tap Connect. Sign in once with your allstarlink.org account, then key up and ID.

Node doesn't take app connections? Pick your own node in Settings, and Hamhop links it for you.

For node owners

Install the free keyup-bridge on your ASL3 node and manage it from Hamhop.

  • Invite by callsignEach ham gets their own login, which you can remove at any time.

  • Four rolesOwner, Admin, Operator and Monitor.

  • Links from your phoneSee what's connected and who's keyed, then link or drop nodes.

  • Wake-upsMembers get a Push to Talk alert when the node hears someone.

Install on the node

  --name "My Hub" --public-ip 203.0.113.10

The installer adds include lines to your Asterisk config, backs up each file first, and never restarts Asterisk. During the beta, email support@hamhop.app for the bridge.
