Transceive is for
Transceive has made a dream come true for me. I have always wanted to be able to use my nice broadcast Mics and soundboard to do net control and now Transceive alows me to do just that. Mahalo Transceive.

This is truely a great program, easy to setup and use. The audio is outstanding, I've been getting complements from all the Allstar nodes I've talked on. Thank you Georges for the quick response to the support email on helping me understand how to use DTMF to control my Allstar nodes. I've recently started using iaxRpt for windows and just happened to search for something like it on the Mac and came across Transceive, this blows iaxRpt out of the water...

The web transceiver feature works great. I live in a HOA community where antennas are forbidden. With Transceive can access and work stations on Allstar with my Mac Mini without having to use a registered node. Thank You.

This really fits the bill. Set up was easy. Would give 6 stars if I could.

What a breath of fresh air Transceive is! Most software out there today for amateur radio applications is outdated, clunky and sometimes completely nonfunctional. I wanted a way to access AllStar without the need for a radio-enabled node, and this works perfectly. It makes maintaining my node & links a breeze. Audio quality is fantastic, UI is clean and simple, and everything just works. This is an extremely convenient way to stay connected. Even if you have an existing radio-enabled AllStar node and HT, Transceive is a fantastic addition to your tool belt.

As a USA licensed HAM Operator for a very long time I am often saddened at the lack of any real software for the Macintosh for my amateur radio hobby. This one is a breath of fresh air! A modern, up-to-date actual Mac program. So not only is there a Mac program for HAM radio, this one works perfectly. It handles all the audio devices I have, the GUI is fast and responsive, it handles all the Cocoa look-and-feel including themes, and the developer will happily answer any questions if you get stuck if you're a NOOB like I was to AllStar. Works perfectly and I was up and running with a full AllStar client in less than five minutes. When I created my own node from a Raspberry Pi-4B, this software let me control it instantly. Just as hoped and just as described. 5-stars.

This program run smooth and it is easy to learn. It makes Allstar simple and organized. Great job!

We need more Ham apps for macOS :)

Really good to see this app which benefits the amateur radio community. Thank you.

Love this for my allstarlink node to listen while doing some work on my macbook

I am an amateur radio operator and was delighted to find this app. It allows any licensed ham to to connect to the AllStar network using the Mac. I am a blind VoiceOver user. I found one aspect of the app that did not work with the VoiceOver screen reader. I contacted the developer and he responded immediately and quickly fixed the problem. This app is easy to use and it works great.

I recently got this app as I was going to be on vacation in Chicagoland for a month and wanted to stay in touch with SBSRC (Santa Barbara). It worked well and and the feedback from the Net session was that the transmission was clear. So was my reception.

The developer has done a great job on this application and it shows when I use it. I had an issue with audio and reached out and he responded in a very timely manner and got it resolved for me.

The new version of the app is awesome, I am really enjoying having this simplistic visibility and connectivity to all the nodes I manage!

This app is fantastic, and just like a weed whacker you pull it out and it just starts doing it's job. Well done.

This is a wonderful product.. Thank you.. Tim K6BIV

Holy wow this is fantastic. Works exactly how its shown. Very simple to set up using the allstarlink.org registration portion. If only there was an iphone app ;)

It's about time that someone with great design and modern coding practices wrote software for macOS and the ham community. Maybe this can be the benchmark going forward for new apps for ham operators in the macOS world. Connects to Allstar nodes, great audio, easy to use interface, and everything you could want with nothing else to get in the way.

While iaxrpt works on PC's, it lacks a modern feel and there was no support for Macs. Transceive addresses both of these and has a great user interface. Support for public authentication is a great help for easy yet authenticated connection to my network (www.thecanadahub.ca) and Georges has been providing excellent customer support and addressing feature requests. Highly recommended! Adrian VE7NZ

I do a lot of nets and Allstar nodes and Transceive allows us to open the nets to other people who do not have a node yet. Another way to get people into Amateur Radio. And..... Georges at Transceive is wonderful to work with. At $20 you can't loose.

This is the best Allstar experience for a ham operator with MacOS -- hands down!

This needs to be on the iPhone too! Works really well on the Mac. Great audio and the interface is nice and clean.

Transceive is an excellent application that has brought AllStarLink to the mac platform. The features and functions of Transceive allow ham radio operators to fully link to other AllStarLink nodes and amateur repeaters worldwide. The audio quality is simply phenomenal.

Fantastic app for Mac OSX, brings native access to Allstarlink.org nodes to the Mac. Allows easy configuration to connect to nodes, supports audio for both TX and RX, sending of DTMF commands, macros supported also. Shows all nodes connected to your node, audio quality is excellent.

It's been a joy to use Transceive. I used it on an RV trip via my cellular hotspot and it worked well.

Connect directly to public nodes with your AllStar account. Experience the AllStarLink network without the complexity of setting up a node.
Securely store account information for every node you manage. Automatic DNS lookup for registered nodes, no need to dig up IP addresses. Indicators for node reachability due to change in network conditions. Open up to 8 nodes at once.
Quickly link your node to other nodes on the network. Identify keyed nodes as they transmit. A history of previously linked nodes is maintained. Automatic unlinking to prevent inadvertently linking multiple nodes together.
Transmission is activated by holding down the PTT button or the SPACE bar. A timeout timer helps you avoid timing out a repeater. A keypad allows you to enter arbitrary DTMF commands.
Node information and location are displayed along with callsign details. Registered node location can be displayed on a map automatically.
Latching PTT provides a hands-free experience for net control operators. Full duplex audio can be useful to hear stations that may be doubling with you.
Modify built-in DTMF commands to match your specific node configuration. Define your own DTMF sequence presets for quick access to frequent operations.
Experience high quality audio from any sources connected to your Mac. Monitor and adjust audio levels with the help of a calibrated audio monitor panel.
With standard UI controls, the application is compatible with macOS built-in accessibility features such as Voice Over.
Directly switch between node connection windows and listen to traffic or hit PTT to transmit. Dark mode available for the night owls.
