VoIP or Skype > CommCat VoIP

Once you have a CommCat Live account on MyQSX, contact CommCat support and ask that VoIP be enabled. If you have subscribed to CommCat VoIP for QSXer, your account is set up automatically.

Here is a link to a video showing how to set up CommCat VoIP.

Receive audio can be provided using a cable connected from the headphone connector on your radio to the line input connector on your sound card. If you are using an interface device, such as a SignaLink or a RigBlaster from West Mountain Radio, you can use that connection to provide receive audio.

Transmit audio to your mic can be supplied from your sound card through an isolation transformer, or by using one of the devices listed above.

A dedicated button is provided for controlling VoIP. It is no longer necessary to use a macro button as in versions before 2.7. You can use the old macro button for a macro of your choosing. If you have enabled VoIP, tap the AUDIO button to connect to CommCat. Tap it again to disconnect.

If VoIP is detected, the AUDIO button makes the connection. If VoIP is not detected, CommCat Mobile closes and Skype is opened, allowing you to make a call. See the VoIP topic in Settings for more information on using the Skype macro.

If you receive a message that the number you called is unavailable or busy, tap AUDIO and try again.

VoIP settings in CommCat are detailed in CommCat Help.
