The VOX settings I use are thresholds of -40db (stock?), trigger time of 300ms, and I match the relaxation (hold) time to the scan delay time of the scanner. The trigger time only determines how long Zello waits before beginning a transmission, BUT, this is only a delay in transmitting, and does not "cut off" the beginning. If you set a 2 second trigger time, that only means that a signal from the scanner will have to be at least 2 seconds long to trigger Zello to send the ENTIRE transmission.
The archiving feature of Zello is cool....each and every VOX transmission is listed as a separate audio file with a time and date stamp. This is cool for like streaming your local fire dispatch channels......if you miss one, you just click (tap on a phone) the line for the received time and it immediately plays back the broadcast. With proper relaxation (scan delay) settings, a back and forth conversation will stay on one file. If you set the hold time to small, then each transmission will have it's own file, which can be annoying depending on how often you use the feature. Not a huge deal though, as when you play back a file it continues on to the next one in the order they were received.
Zello also has an ALERT option as well as the voice/talking feature. The ALERT system allows the receiver to emit a loud tone and your text message will display. More cool features......you can configure different sounds for TX and RX.......I like the low HAM type beep at the end of each received broadcast...BEEP! On a PC, i believe you can even add personalized sound files. For TX, I chose the Zello included MDC1200 burst! Haha

Zello
Zello is an application startup located in Austin, Texas, behind the creation of Zello applications. The applications emulate push-to-talk (PTT) walkie-talkies over cell phone networks. The apps are available for Android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Windows PC, rugged mobile devices and two-way radios. Zello is free while the Zello Work application is free for 30 days.[2]
Company history[edit]
Alexey Gavrilov developed the product originally called Loudtalks which was announced at the TechCrunch 40 Mobile and Communications Conference on September 17, 2007.[3] Zello acquired the Loudtalks technology, rebranded, moved the development team to Austin, added apps and announced June 20, 2012.[4] Bill Moore is the CEO and Gavrilov is CTO. Moore founded and was CEO of TuneIn where Gavrilov and his team created popular TuneIn applications.
Products[edit]
Zello is an instant communication app to exchange short audio messages. It simulates traditional two-way radios, with a walkie-talkie style of communication. The app allows to talk one-on-one to a single person or in a channel with a group of people, and offers additional features such as history, replay last message, notifications and Bluetooth device support.[5]
Zello users can create channels and give control to other Zello users to become moderators. New York Times' technology columnist David Pogue describes Zello's channels, "Like most of the best applications, Zello lets you create groups so that you can carry on something like a party-line phone call among a handful—or hundreds—of friends or collaborators."[6]
Once a channel is created, channels can appear on the "Trending" list and creators can assign additional moderators to keep their created channels safe. Though available for Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Blackberry, Zello can also be accessed from a Windows PC computer with the Zello for Windows PC.[6] For other smart phone operating systems (e.g. Sailfish OS) there are Zello-compatible apps provided by third parties.[7]
Zello Work is the paid service of Zello app that allows corporates and users looking for real-time communication over groups and channels. Zello Work is different than Zello however owned by the same company.[8]
History[edit]
Zello made the news in June 2013 when Turkish protesters used it to circumvent government censors.[9] As a result, Zello was the top most downloaded application in Turkey during the first week of June 2013.[10]
In February 2014, it was blocked by CANTV in Venezuela. Zello issued workarounds and patches to overcome the blocks to support approximately 600,000 Venezuelans who have downloaded the application to communicate with each other amidst protests.[11] It "has been one of the most downloaded applications in Ukraine and Venezuela."[12]
In July 2017, in Latvia, Zello was the main application which was used by thousands of volunteers and rescuers for communication purposes while looking for Ivans Berladins who went missing.
In August 2017 during relief efforts following Hurricane Harvey in Texas, Zello became a popular method for communications between volunteer rescuers - particularly members of the Cajun Navy - and people stranded by the widespread flooding.[13][14] The app received over 6 million signups in one week as Florida residents prepared for Hurricane Irma.[15]
Once again in September 2018, while Hurricane Florence was causing unprecedented flooding in the Carolinas, rescuers used Zello to request information on street conditions and the locations of people needing help.[16]
