Magic PTT vs NodeScope

Magic PTT is a push-to-talk radio network for people who like a radio in their hand: hams, GMRS and CB operators, preppers, truckers, boaters, off-grid families, and anyone who wants to stay in contact when it matters. Press to talk. Members on the channel hear you live over Nexus, our voice network with servers in the USA and Europe and failover that just happens. WHAT YOU GET • Channels and private rooms. Join the Home channel, the International channel, or a My Room a net admin has set up for your group. • Radio bridges. Some rooms carry real Brandmeister DMR talkgroup traffic and AllStarLink nodes, so there is always something to hear. • Live captions in 25 languages. Pick your language once in Settings and every transmission arrives as text in it, translated automatically. • Operators roster. See who is on, who is talking, and star the people you want to find again. • Magic Book. Your contact book. Confirm a two-way key, keep notes, and message from a station card. Hams export ADIF from Logbook. • Magic Grid. Opt-in grid squares on a live map. Never GPS, and gone the moment you disconnect. • Chat and photos with member-to-member translation. • Storm Watch weather alerts and the World Net Clock on the Stage desk. • The Slammer. A moderated net with a sense of humour: rule-breakers do a little time. HARDWARE WE ACTUALLY DRIVE Bluetooth speaker-mics with their own PTT button key Magic PTT directly: BTech BS-22 and BS-50, TidRadio Q2L, Inrico B01 and B02. Voice rides normal Bluetooth audio. The iPhone Action Button can be set to toggle PTT. ONE NETWORK, EVERY SCREEN The same station on your iPhone, on your computer with Magic PTT Desktop, and in any browser. Your settings, contacts and rooms follow you. MEMBERSHIP Magic PTT is a member network. New accounts are approved at the Welcome Desk, usually the same day. Voice on public channels is live and unrecorded; private rooms are ephemeral unless the room owner enables recording with everyone's consent. Built by one person, with the members telling us what to build next.

NodeScope is an unofficial, read-only companion for CoreScope and Beacon, the mesh network analyzers used by MeshTexas and other MeshCore communities. It connects directly to a selected analyzer’s public API to present nodes, packets, channels, routes, observers, and analytics on iPhone and iPad, with adaptive layouts for iPhone Duo. Beacon support is in beta. Available features and history may vary by server. EXPLORE YOUR NETWORK View active nodes, online observers, recent packets, and signal information. Search across nodes, observers, channels, public keys, and packets, then save favorites for quick access. NODE ANALYTICS Evaluate nodes across multiple time ranges using native charts and summaries. Depending on the analyzer, NodeScope can display availability, signal quality, packet or observation activity, relay behavior, observer coverage, packet types, hop counts, peer interactions, and neighboring nodes. Beacon observation history is limited to the history retained by the server, currently up to seven days. Unavailable metrics are clearly identified rather than estimated. Export supported analytics as CSV or JSON. LIVE MESH MAP See known nodes on the map, distinguished by role. Live packet traffic animates hop-by-hop across the mesh. Filter by region, node role, activity, or observer. Inspect confirmed route hops, observations, packet metadata, and public text content. Replay supported routes on the map or share route details as structured text. Adaptive layouts can show the map alongside the live packet feed on supported devices. LIVE PACKETS Follow mesh traffic as it arrives. NodeScope groups observations of the same transmission so you can distinguish unique packets from the observers that received them. Filter the feed, inspect packet details, replay supported routes, or pause while exploring and return with Resume Live. CHANNELS Browse available group-channel traffic as a conversation feed and load older messages retained by the analyzer. CoreScope supports public channel history and locally monitored key-protected channels. Keys are stored in your device’s Keychain and are never sent to the analyzer. Beacon can provide server-decrypted channels whose keys are known by that server. On-device monitored-channel decryption is not currently available for Beacon. OBSERVERS Inspect devices feeding the analyzer, including available hardware information, firmware, activity, packet or observation statistics, and signal measurements. Supported Beacon servers can also provide battery voltage, noise floor, airtime, uptime, and receive errors. Missing measurements are shown as unavailable rather than zero. SEARCH, FAVORITES, SHARING, AND EXPORTS Search the network and save important channels, nodes, and observers to your Explore dashboard. Customize dashboard statistics, export supported data, and share direct links to nodes, observers, channels, and packets. Add supported nodes to MeshCore with a contact QR code, or open, copy, and share their MeshCore contact links. DIAGNOSTICS AND STORAGE Check analyzer connectivity, compatibility, live-update status, and available capabilities. Review cache usage and safely clear downloaded data without removing favorites, channel keys, or preferences. COMMUNITY ANALYZERS Choose from supported community CoreScope and Beacon sources, or enter a compatible analyzer hostname. Beacon sources are marked as beta. NodeScope has no backend of its own. It connects directly from your device to the selected analyzer. No NodeScope account or sign-in is required. PRIVACY BY DESIGN NodeScope contains no advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics SDKs. Location access is used only to show your position and center the map. Your location and locally stored channel keys are never transmitted by NodeScope. NodeScope is an independent project and is not affiliated with CoreScope, Beacon, MeshTexas, or MeshCore.
