KC5DJR DMR Help & Support Page


Due to recent serious life threatening health issues
I'm taking a break from the upkeep of the web page focusing on recovery and spending time with my family
I'm getting burned out spending an unhealthy amount of my family and ham radio time helping others with these great big can of worms mess with DMR issues
I'm not willing to spend a lot of time with troubleshooting anymore, if you have something easy that's okay I will help you
but if you have a very time consuming labor intensive mess you will need to use the DMR tech support services I offer



Everything I have learned over many years of messing with DMR, MMDVM pi-star hotspots is in the text, I share all of it here
If I learn something new I add it here, any questions you have will be answered here you just need to take the time to do the research
and look for your issue.
