ClearZero

To purchase a ClearZero and/or accessories please visit the Store.

ClearZero sports all the access node functionality of the original ClearNode – in a much smaller package – 3 x 1.5 x 1 inches – not much bigger than a box of matches !

ClearZero is based on the recently released Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. ClearZero is an AllStar, EchoLink & Digital Modes simplex node, with an integrated low power UHF FM radio transceiver. Digital modes include DMR, P25, YSF, FCS and NXDN – all available from your Analog FM HT or mobile rig.

(Hand held radio NOT included.)

ClearNode includes a free companion iPhone and Android mobile app to Setup and Control your node – from anywhere you have an internet connection.

The ClearNode Mobile App allows you to:

  • Configure your AllStar, EchoLink & Digital credentials and settings
  • Configure your ClearNode WiFi credentials without using SSH and Terminal
  • Connect and disconnect your ClearNode from remote nodes, hubs, reflectors and Talk Groups
  • Automate your connects and disconnects with calendar Timed Events
  • Keep, edit and tag a catalog of the nodes you regularly connect to
  • Control the integrated radio: Tx/Rx frequency, CTCSS/DCS codes, Squelch, Volume …
  • Power down or reboot your ClearNode
  • Play a delayed stream (~20 sec) of the audio traffic on your ClearNode on your mobile device
