See exactly what's happening on the network. Worldwide Coverage Connect to any AllStarLink node, from your local repeater to international hubs. Native iOS Built for iPhone with the polish you'd expect. Dark mode, responsive controls, low latency. REQUIREMENTS - A valid FCC-issued amateur radio license and call sign are required to transmit. - An AllStarLink node connection. Your own ASL3 Raspberry Pi node is recommended — see opline.app/setup for a free build guide. - Standard amateur radio rules apply: identify with your call sign, follow Part 97 (or your country's equivalent). WHY OPLINE Most AllStarLink clients started as desktop tools and got retrofitted for mobile. OpLine was designed iPhone-first: instant connect, sub-second PTT response, clean telemetry, and a UI that respects your time. No subscriptions. No ads. No data collection beyond what's needed to make the app work. Built by a licensed ham who wanted a better way to get on the air from a phone. NEW TO HAM RADIO?

OpLine 1.4 is about finding the activity on the network, and getting on it hands free. COMMUNITY Join other operators on the OpLine Discord: https://discord.gg/AbysJgqaM. The link is also in Settings. KEYED NODES A new Keyed tab shows which nodes are transmitting on the network right now, busiest first, with the callsign, location and how many nodes are connected. Tap one to jump straight in, save it to Favorites, or see where it is. Every row says how recently that node was heard, and the list tells you how fresh the data is. NET ALERTS Open a net and pick a reminder: Start, 5, 15 or 30 minutes. A bell then marks that net everywhere it appears, and a new Alerts filter lists every net you are watching in one place. BLUETOOTH PTT HANDSETS Use an Inrico-style Bluetooth mic's button to transmit, press to talk, even with your phone locked in your pocket. Turn it on in Settings. PICK YOUR MICROPHONE Choose which mic transmits in Settings → Audio: built-in, AirPods, or a Bluetooth handset. The Bluetooth route button now names the device it is using. SEE WHAT IS LINKED TO A NODE On any node you are connected to, tap the topology icon to see the stations connected to it. VOICEOVER The Talk button switches to tap-to-toggle automatically when VoiceOver is on, and OpLine can speak what you cannot see: receiving, transmitting, connected, linked, timeouts. Optional audio cues for everyone. Both in Settings → Accessibility. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE Network data now reaches the app through OpLine's own service instead of every phone polling AllStarLink directly. Same data on screen, far lighter on the network we all share. Smoother received audio, with fewer dropouts and less latency creep on long QSOs. Transmit gain tuned to sit better on the air, and gain changes now apply live mid-call. Fixed: the Connect button on a net's screen no longer hides under the tab bar, plus assorted layout and reliability cleanups. 73~
