The IRN (International Radio Network) is a VoIP/RoIP system using Teamspeak 3 (TS3) that allows radio users to TX/RX using RF around the World using different devices (Mobile Phones, Tablets, Computers etc) for free.
The system also allows users to create private talkgroups for point to point or private group QSO’s.
If you would like to add your link, repeater or hub to the IRN system, please use the contact us section to drop us a line.
TS3 is available on Apple, Android, PC, Mac and Linux. The IRN has it’s own private server allowing hundreds of connections at once. There are different talkgroups (channels) within that allow users full RX/TX capabilities across different radio networks and systems from across the globe.
To make it more interesting, you can use PTT-enabled smartphones like the ones listed below. Most of the hams use PTT-enabled phones, so they can use the IRN with the same style as they use a handheld radio. The IRN talk groups can be accessed via GPRS / 3G / 4G / Wifi or RF (depending on the repeaters).
Please note: This system is free to use for both non-licensed* & licensed hams. Live ham-radio repeaters can only be accessed by licensed hams.
*Non-licensed users must apply for membership of IRN in order to have a callsign generated for them (Don’t worry, it’s also free).
The following devices have a dedicated PTT button that will make your experience even better when using the IRN.

Please note, that once you have signed into the server, an admin will need to verify you and assign you voice rights. This will only be done once you are verified.
In case of any issues, we will contact you via email (please supply one directly if you do not have one listed on QRZ).
For non-licensed users, please follow the link on the home page to IRN and join via them so that you can have access to the server.
