## What is OpLine?

OpLine - AllStarLink in Your Pocket

Connect to AllStarLink nodes anywhere your iPhone has signal. OpLine is a fast, native iOS client for licensed amateur radio operators who want a clean, reliable way to get on the network without fiddling with desktop tools or generic SIP clients.

KEY FEATURES

Push to Talk
Hold-to-talk or tap-to-toggle. Lock the mic when you need both hands free. Designed to feel like a real radio.

Live Net Schedule
Browse upcoming nets, filter by region or favorites, and set alerts before they start. Never miss a check-in.

Smart Favorites
Save your daily-driver nodes and the nets you actually attend. Group them however makes sense to you.

Real-Time Telemetry
RX/TX activity meters, connection status, and link tracking. 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.
