Hello, Yes, I have a FT-1DR. Dan Srebnick mentioned on Facebook: "I'll have DMR @ 433.45 MHz TG9 TS2. We can connect to Brandmeister or DMR+ depending upon what is of interest. I'll also have a D-Star DVAP at 145.67 MHz. It should be up and running Wednesday evening." It looks like ham digi

I assume you have a Fusion capable rig, Eric? I can bring a RPi based MMDVM/ZUM/JumboSPOT device. It can do all 4 modes concurrently on a first-come-first-served basis. On Sun, Feb 25, 2018 at 10:37 AM, Eric A. Cottrell wrote: > Hello, > > I am not surprised given the hit and miss of website

For DMR I’ll probably bring the Hytera PD-365. UHF only, compact integrated antenna, but low profile and convenient to carry. I’m making pretty good use of the D74A between D-Star and APRS. When we were down at Hamcation a few weeks ago I had it beaconing as we drove, just in the cabin of

Hello, I have not used D-Star with my D74A yet, but did notice the list in the radio. I am planning to update the code plug in my XPR radios so I can use the NJ-NY-PA network on the way down. I may end up taking three HTs (FT-1D for Fusion, XPR6550 UHF for DMR, and D74A for D-Star). 73 E

Hello, I am not surprised given the hit and miss of website updates. There are likely other repeaters farther away that are usable at the hotel with a HT. I can use several Boston repeaters around nine miles away at my house with a HT, including one on the 900 MHz ham band, while several clos

I'll bring my D74A. It can use GPS to list nearby D-Star repeaters based upon the installed list. That might be interesting. Thanks for the list, I'll probably add the DMR sites to an HT. On Sat, 2018-02-24 at 23:11 -0500, Eric A. Cottrell wrote: > Hello, > > I remember years ago bringing my H
