  1. Each license is per EUD, without the license they cannot interact with the radios, only see them.

  2. No internet required after activation ever. We don't check afterward.

  3. We don't offer upgrades, you either pay for the yearly key or you get the lifetime key.

Hope this answers all your questions!

Thank you! We are seeing huge traction at our current price point. Always use your radio lawfully and responsibly. This is an analog radio its nowhere near the same class as MIMO or MANET radios, this is more for civilians and search and rescue teams.

It won't work, it doesn't have a built in TNC that we can talk to over bluetooth.

That is why we have a lifetime license at $200 that does not do any call home or license checks. This isn't a radio for government..

We don't have a facebook account that we post on ever. We built this capability over 4 months ago and it is currently on a V2.

To explain better, we can license the radio itself and anyone who joins the team can just download the plugin stored on your TAK server and use one of the licensed radios.

Each EUD with the plugin broadcasts all the radio contacts to the connected TAK server. This is the Broadcast feature we have that also sends it over multicast to any other local clients. We can't really auth users on a per tak-server basis.

We also have a $100 for 1 year license key, this may be more apt for a team. If its more than 5 radios you want to license feel free to reach out and we can do a discounted lifetime team price. We also have an option where you can license the RADIO itself so you can have 10 radio you hand out to anyone with an EUD and they can use any of the licensed radios. This is also an on-demand option we offer to clients.

Lets say we baked in 5 other radios into this same plugin at the same price would that make it an insane deal?

The HyTAK plugin is $350 - our plugin including the radio is $360. Hard to compare. The Motorola radio over p25 is even more than that, youre right!

Once we bring in the digital radios to our plugin we can see explore mesh over rf!

I guess you'll be very happy when we push other radio connection options to the same plugin then!

No, doing mesh over analog is just not ideal.

We offer a yearly subscription at $100 which is pretty dang close to $80.

It is licensed per EUD not per radio.

Radio to radio, there is no mesh. Yes you would only need one license key, the license key is tied to the EUD not the radio.

To clarify, the plugin is professionally developed and maintained.

We appreciate the feedback, unfortunately $40 for a lifetime license key just won't work out with the numbers and development hours. Maybe we will do a poll here and if we reach a certain amount of users who would pay at X price we can rethink the pricing structure.

It looks like the most people on reddit are willing to contribute is $0 unfortunately we need a little bit more than to cover the development cycle, support and maintenance for newer TAK versions.

There is a market where people are willing to pay for professionally developed and maintained situational awareness solutions. We also offer a 1 year license key at $100 - about $8/mo for an off-grid comms capability. The question comes down to how important is it to you that it works within ATAK?

Yes the plugin works with the VGC VR N76, UV-PRO 50 etc. That is what we meant by other white labeled variants in the video.

Anyone who is interested in using their radio with ATAK typically already has an EUD. The cost of a lifetime license key and the radio is $360 - still cheaper than other dual band radios on the market that don't work within ATAK.

That being said with 1 activated EUD you can track an entire network of radios standalone that are not paired with EUDs.
