A few good questions.
Clear, practical answers.

DIGI HAM LINK is intended for licensed amateur radio operators. Register with your callsign. The administrator reviews requests before approving access.

No, not for shared access. Choose the shared registration option and use the hosted room after approval. The personal-node option is for authorized users who want their own AllStar node hosted on this server.

A received-registration message confirms submission, not approval. Your request must be reviewed and approved before sign-in. There is no guaranteed approval time.

The administrator can turn the license-upload requirement on or off for new requests. Follow the registration form’s current instructions. When supplied, the document is stored privately for authorized administrator review.

PDF, JPG, JPEG and PNG are supported, up to 10 MB. The callsign and license holder’s name should be readable. The server validates file content and size; renaming an unsupported file does not make it valid.

Use your DIGI HAM LINK login password with your callsign. New user passwords need at least eight supported characters; choose a strong unique password. An AllStar node registration password is a separate credential used only for personal-node hosting.

Your node number, its registration password and your authorization to host it, along with your name, callsign, email and app password. Administrator approval and successful configuration are required. Coordinate any existing node registration first.

Yes, as an installable web app in a supported browser. Use the offered install control or browser install menu. Incognito browsing may not offer installation; reopen the secure address in a normal browser window.

The current application is a web app. Browser and operating-system behavior can interrupt it when the screen locks or you switch apps. Installation does not guarantee continuous background audio.

Yes, with a compatible browser and audio devices. Connect and select a microphone or headset, then grant microphone permission. Some audio sessions fail to start if no input device is available.

Radio operation uses hold-to-talk PTT. Keep PTT released while listening and press it deliberately to transmit. A connection or input meter is not proof of a transmission reaching a remote station.

It attempts to recover your browser radio audio session with PTT released. It does not inherently disconnect all remote nodes or change the shared bridge’s selected talkgroup.

They are in Settings in the updated interface, together with received-audio playback controls. Gain adjusts the local microphone level. Server and private echo tests help check parts of the audio path.

The display uses reported activity and identifiers available from the connected systems. It may show a linked node’s identity rather than a verified individual speaker, and sometimes no callsign is available.

The owner manages the room’s shared network links and bridge destination. Other accounts only receive controls allowed by their permissions. Changes to a shared destination can affect everyone in that room.

When enabled, an authorized connection request can remove other remote destinations before connecting a new one. Review the option before linking systems, especially in a shared room.

No. The directory lists nodes reporting activity to AllStarLink. A listing does not prove someone is speaking or that the remote system will accept a connection. Nodes that do not report may be absent.

The configured shared BrandMeister bridge has owner-controlled talkgroup selection. Shared members follow that selection. Availability depends on the configured network connection and bridge, not just entering a group number.

The bridge uses its configured BrandMeister network credentials. Selecting a group does not normally require a separate application password for that talkgroup. Group accessibility and network policies still apply.

No. They require separate validated/configured bridge setups. The application can expose their supported controls when enabled, but membership alone does not activate these modes.

Not inherently. Server-side links can remain while your personal browser audio session ends. Their continued operation depends on the server, network and bridge services.

Use the available recovery option if the server’s email recovery is configured, or ask the administrator for help. An email field alone does not guarantee password-reset messages are enabled.

That depends on whether the administrator has configured and enabled email delivery. Do not assume a message was sent; the received-registration notice only confirms the request was submitted.

Additional independent shared rooms are a future expansion and require node configuration and permissions. The current shared setup does not promise a separate room or private bridge for every account.
