This is the way Zello was meant to be used. A true walkie-talkie experience!!

Very pleased with this ,well made radio. worked straight out of the box once connected to wifi. The only challenge is inputting information as the onscreen keyboard which is small and with big fingers it took some effort. I have zello working, no issues. I have installed IRN teamspeak 3 just need to see how I can assign the PTT for that application. Also found your videos on YouTube very useful, thank you.

Delighted with this fantastic little radio! Audio quality is superb on both reception but I’ve had very positive feedback on how my Tx sounds. overall very pleased. I would recommend this radio. I use this in the car, using a Three MiFi dongle, just love it! 73 Tim 2E0CXQ

Some people would say its a glorified mobile phone well sort off until you hit the repeater stations and you have to be a qualified ham op to use it
Nice tidy thing well built easy transportable get on the air anywhere in the world with the GPS antenna so no need to worry about if you have a signal
If you are very restricted to putting up a antenna where you live like in a flat then this is great
The screen could do to be a little bigger other than that brilliant it is just one of those radios you got to have
As for the shop SOUND OF ANGELS well the service is spot on and they keep you up to date on the progress of your order i got mine in 7/9 working days
Very helpful in everyway possible and although the postage is heavy in price but it is DHL so you will get it as they keep you informed from start to finish
I am very happy with it and i am a ham radio op there is a new world to discover with this radio its just the finding them once you have then its all opened up for you
a quick example in the UK parked at the supermarket in Newcastle upon Tyne talking to someone in Seattle no swr no antenna tuners no big Ariel’s just a small black box on the dashboard the size of a matchbox
Well there we have it great service from the shop nice radio works well

Great radio with a lot of potential. It works great and fits an XPR4550/5550 faceplate with slight modification of the bracket. Could use an ignition sense cable (allowing for the radio to be turned on automatically when the car is turned on) and the processor on the radio is a little slow, otherwise its perfect.

The TM-7 is a great piece of kit which allows instant access to the VOIP networks (EchoLink, IRN and Zello) it will also do APRS so plenty of ways to use the radio. Best thing about it is installing it mobile and running VOIP over 3G or 4G cellular data. Great way to keep in touch.
When one with a nice big screen comes out I will grab it, as the current screen is a bit small. Inrico also need to have better quality control. But for the price it’s ace or 5 star.

One of the best devices + the customer service is a five star service.

I am happy with the TM 7 except 2 things. 1. I wish that while leaving it powered up and operating that you could lower the speaker volume so that the speaker can silence rather that just lower as it does now on both of my 2 TM 7 .
2. I wish that there was a ethernet wire connection point to plug in a cat 5 cable to hard connect the internet . Other than these 2 issues i am very pleased with the operation of both my TM 7s.

I wasn’t sure I was going to get into Network Radio so I purchased this entry level Inrico TM-7. I now really like it. I took a trip and was able to contact my home repeater system through Echolink. I talk all over the world with Teamspeak, and I use Zello to talk to my Vol. Fire Dept. Its an all inclusive radio. This is a keeper and I will be looking into an HT.
