DMR Hot Spot Night

Tonight’s general meeting turned into a show and tell for DMR Hot Spots, three members showed their personal Hot Spots and these covered the range from home made to commercial supported unit.

You see all three in the photo. The one on the left was from Benett AC2NI who was the first member to build his Hot Spot and use DMR. In turn the middle unit belonging to Bob W2FKG came as part of a package he got from BridgeComSystems. The left unit is a two channel duplex system built by Steve KD2QIP and uses a Chinese Clone of the MMDVM_HS_Hat. All the units run the PI-Star open source software.

Good resources for DMR are:

• Amateur_Radio_Guide_to_DMR​ 
• Playing_with_Pi-Sta​​
• Radio ID (to get your digital ID)

We will consider if making a Hot Spot will be a suitable club project. Benett AC2NI is also planning to hold a presentation evening to discuss and explain DMR.
