I/O: My DMR Radio is Coming!
I/O: My DMR Radio is Coming!
If you are getting tired of AllStar posts, stay tuned for DMR radio articles
This is a short in-and-out post, aka an I/O. It seems that as I have focused some energy on AllStar, some subscribers have decided to unsubscribe. I’m sorry to see them go. Perhaps I’ve not been providing enough “real radio” for subscribers, so this post is a gentle teaser that more radio posts are coming. If you are getting tired of posts about AllStar, a change is in the wind.
I have an AnyTone AT-D878UVII Plus radio on the way. A good review of this radio is available on the The VoIP Hub.
I also bought a hot spot to extend the capabilities of the handheld radio. (The box in the image does not contain the radio at the moment. I sent the radio back to the vendor for programming with the hotspot.)
The new radio and hotspot will continue my exploration of digital mobile radio (DMR). Previous RandomWire posts on DMR include one about a Radioddity GD-73 handheld and Getting Started with DMR.
I joined the PNWDigital group (website and Facebook) and my cousin-in-law — who is experienced in digital radio — is willing to help me learn.
If you were getting a bit tired of my focus on AllStar, get ready for DMR radio!
Not at all tired of Allstar posts and glad to see you focused at the nexus of communication and computing. You are reading your fellow Substack writer, Steve Stroh N8GNJ "Zero Retries". I use Allstar, DMR, Fusion and more, even HF lol. 73 de K3FZT / Steve
There are many learning curves on doing all the digital modes. At best i am still learning on the D-star mode. I have a DMR 70 cm machine that has 2 repeaters in area programmed into it.
Your ideas and observations always give me more insight on how stuff works.
Thanks
