SignalForge Mobile connects to your SignalForge hub and puts live radio monitoring and push-to-talk in your pocket — or on your wrist. MONITOR LIVE Pick a radio set and listen in real time. Incoming calls show talkgroup, time, transcripts when available, and dispatch/PTT labels. Tap any call to replay. Background monitoring keeps audio running while you drive; car displays can show Now Playing metadata. PUSH TO TALK When your hub account has transmit enabled, hold the PTT button to record and upload to your set’s talkgroup. Works on iPhone and iPad. DISPATCHER MODE Broadcast one transmission to multiple radio sets at once. See live activity per set, select targets, and monitor while you transmit. APPLE WATCH The watch companion is a remote PTT button — press and hold on your wrist; the iPhone mic records and uploads. Stay Ready keeps the watch app warm for faster keying. TACTICAL DISPLAY MODES DARK, NITE, NVG, and LIGHT palettes for day ops, night vision, and low-light work. SIGN IN Connect to your hub with magic link, password, or pasted link. Browse public hubs from the SignalForge directory. REQUIREMENTS • A running SignalForge hub and account • Transmit (PTT) requires hub admin to enable TX on your account and a PTT talkgroup on the set • Apple Watch PTT requires a paired watch and the iPhone app running (foreground or background with audio) SignalForge is built for scanner operators, dispatchers, SAR, EMS, fire, and anyone running a SignalForge hub in the field.
