It's
like having your own personal low powered digital repeater
at home or in your mobile
Also
most everyone who
starts off using a DMR repeater gets a hotspot for the freedom they
provide, no restrictions or sharing. BoomerangAmazoneBaySkyBridge Max
Others
include and are restricted
to RF only no
hotspots and most require permission to use
c-Bridges:
DMR-MARC, DCI TRBO, NATS, CACTUS, K4USD, Crossroads, Lonestar, DMRX,
Chicagoland, Rocky Mountain Ham, DMR-FL,
Bronx TRBO,
Minnesota TRBO, and others.
Take your time, don't
be in
a
rush, follow the directions carefully

Advanced hotspot features for those who want more than just one DMR
network
If you still
need help or don't feel comfortable doing it yourself I can do it for
you
What
if my hotspot starts acting
funny? It
won't if you set it up and leave it alone
The
#1 most common issue I run into with people having hotspot
issues is a
missing or wrong password,
not connected to the DMR server if you mess around
with any of the DMR or other configurations the hotspot password is
sometimes removed.
The #2 would
be WiFi or Internet issues, either the router assigned a new IP address
or other Internet related issues in this case use pi-star.local to gain
access to the dashboard Hopefully
you made a backup, you can just restore your hotspot to the last known
working conditions. This checklist is packed full
of tips and tricks gathered over years of
messing with these picky devices, 90% of its users are successful
at resolving their HS issues
These
little devices are very
picky and have zero tolerance for type-o errors, if so much
as one small detail is off it will render the thing
useless.
Set it up and put it somewhere out of the way and
away from RFI devices, don't shut it just leave it on, it updates
nightly at around 03:30
I
do not
recommend
tinkering with the settings unless you know what you're doing! If
you did and now it doesn't work all hope is not lost
Each
DMR
network has
it's own
set of talk groups that are specific to that network
Note:
TGIF
comes with it's own talk group manager on the pi dashboard, for
BrandMeister you must add it manually
Here
you can find some prefabricated code plug CSV files to import, most all
DMR CPS software has some sort of import / export feature usually in
CSV format, super easy to make changes and
I added my collection of DMR ham radio CPS software download links
