Larry,
If your having a question about your DMR radio not working properly, please feel free to reach out to me and I’ll be glad to help you work through the issue. I have multiple code plugs available that are very up to date for the whole state of Texas, for Repeaters and hotspots, for the TYT and Anytone radios if that will help you as well. There have been plenty of recent changes with Brandmesiter that has broken links between the systems available on local repeaters in our area, so you may see some of those issues as well. If your trying DMR via a hotspot then you have a far greater set of options for talkgroups, ie.. 1450+ versus about 7 on the local repeaters. But do let me know which radio you have, and where I can help you the best, and we can get you going plenty fast enough. All the best, Walter/K5WH From: BVARC <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Larry Riendeau via BVARC Sent: Friday, February 14, 2020 10:22 AM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <[email protected]> Cc: Larry Riendeau <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [BVARC] Untangling My (Your's too) Understanding of DMR Thanks Rick! I wanted to make the meeting but my back wasn’t having it. I have DMR equipment and actually thought I had it functioning properly, only to find after a lapse in use either Brandmeister made system changes or my radio is kaput. I have since found it does work on some but not many talkgroups. Here’s hoping the link will help. If not, I’ve got some equipment for sale at the Hamfest. 73 K5LER Larry Riendeau On Feb 14, 2020, at 9:34 AM, Rick Hiller via BVARC <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Happy V Day to all, Even after last night's BVARC N5VCX presentation (Thank you, Mike), I was still a bit confused. Not that I want to run out and get a DMR radio, but just that I want to understand the technology and more importantly the application and just how this fits into the Ham Radio world that I know. I found that not knowing the nomenclature or terminology was my biggest road block. (ie Code Plug, Zones, etc.) So I found this web page article -- link below. It is all inclusive and it is succinct. Gets to the point in an informational flow that makes sense and easy (for me, an analog ham) to understand. Hope it does for you too. https://www.jeffreykopcak.com/2017/05/10/dmr-in-amateur-radio-terminology/ Remember, please, this is not analog radio, it is digitized voice and control data bit streams being modulated to be sent over an RF channel. Kind of like RTTY but much faster. All set-up, controlled and delivered to the DMR network via the Internet and computer hardware and software. (C-Bridges, etc.) It's all Ham Radio and, therefore, should be fun. That's my goal, anyway. Have a good one...Rick -- W5RH ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club Friday Night Greater Houston Hamfest Spaghetti Supper $15 BVARC mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org
