N39plus + VHAM: Your Guide to Linkpoon Global Channels (How to Tune, W

What is VHAM (Linkpoon) and why it matters

VHAM (formerly Linkpoon) is a Virtual Amateur Radio app that turns your device into a radio-like client for global QSOs. You tune a virtual frequency and set a virtual CTCSS (VC, shown below as “Group”) to talk with operators who selected the same pair. Use your callsign as your username, monitor two virtual frequencies at once, and keep custom channel lists. It feels like radio—and scales like the internet.

Quick-Start: How to join a VHAM channel on N39plus

Open VHAM on your N39plus (Linkpoon app).
Enter the virtual frequency from this guide.
If a Group is listed (e.g., 01, 33, 50), set it as your virtual CTCSS (VC).
CALL first on the relevant CALLING channel, then move to a CHAT or regional channel.
Use Dual-Watch to monitor a calling and a chat/regional channel simultaneously.

Good practice & etiquette

Treat VHAM channels like on-air ham channels: ID with your callsign, be brief and courteous.
“Group” is a virtual CTCSS—agree on it with your partners to reduce QRM.
These are virtual frequencies for the app—follow your country’s RF laws when using real radios.
Build custom lists (e.g., “USA Road Trip,” “UK Net,” “Local GMRS/FRS Virtual”) to switch fast.

Final word

Whether you’re coordinating a hike, checking in with a state net, or jumping into a casual chat across the pond, this channel map gets you on the same page—fast. Pair it with Talkpod N39plus and you’ve got a portable, dual-watch, world-ready station that feels like radio and scales like the cloud.
