#DigitalModes
I checked in to the Pride Radio Group net for the first time!
Finally got my #DMR hotspot to work on a network other than #Brandmeister
Looks like #FreeDMR was having trouble, so I connected via #TGIF instead
squeee!
Getting there slowly, got #WPSD installed and partly configured to connect to #FreeDMR and able to TX via my HT on another #hotspot to see in come up on this one
UPDATE:
Got this MMDVM hat board upgraded to the 1.6.1 firmware 🎉 🥳
Not the greatest soldering on the headers on the Pi Zero 2 W but should do the job. This setup will be running #WPSD by #W0CHP and setup as mini repeater with #FreeDMR with #DMR2YSF cross-over.
Now that I got my #DMR hotspot working and my radio connecting to it, I added an entry for the Pride Radio Network on #FreeDMR 😃
https://prideradionetwork.weebly.com/network--repeater-info.html
Next step is to schedule some time when folks are on for their net.
I wrote up my adventures on fixing my #DMR #hotspot on my #blog here,
https://k8vsy.radio/2023/09/recent-adventures-fixing-dmr-hotspot.html
I added some details and tried to cover as much as possible from the threads on here.
My goal is that it might help someone in the future with their own DMR hotspot.
#WPSD is working now with the config page saving successfully!
I had to rewipe the SD card and re-config the Wi-Fi
I got it configured for #Brandmeister and #FreeDMR and I've been able to connect my radio and TX and RX DMR!
This is exciting!
Next step, see if I can get D-Star working for my ID-5100A to this hotspot lol
Well I have had a chance to play around with #W0CHP #PiStar Dash and it rather nice. I have #FreeDMR and #DMR2YSF cross-over running in both directions, it also seems to have fixed couple other annoyances I was having.
So will see how we going over the next month or so with it.
Next on the list is to deal with the Aliexpress SHARI clone I have, just need to do backup on old install to add to the new microSDHC I have #hamvoip installed on.
#DMR decisions. #Brandmeister or #TGIF or #FreeDMR? If not these, what else?
don't worry clubs and stuff are getting repeaters on the air and doing other stuff with them like bridging etc that #VKDMR+ does not allow.
Basically there is not real restrictions on #FreeDMR and if you like to tinker etc and do bridges to other networks etc FreeDMR is great for it and it in the spirit of AR
Of late I have been hearing from and about people being banned in VK from the #VKDMR+ network because of belonging to the Bayswater AR club which I have to say is fucking dreadful and is not in the spirit of AR. I personally not been on the said network for a while due to the packet loss over the network.
But non the less theses people have been more than welcome to the VK #FreeDMR network, and cause of this we getting more bare metal repeaters on the network too.
