CW: very inexpensive DMR radio, Cotre CO04D
My very inexpensive ($17) DMR radio showed up in the mail. It's a Cotre CO04D, which uses an #Auctus A6 radio SoC as its brains.

What hasn't shown up yet is the corresponding programming cable for it. I have an SDR which should tune to the 70cm band to see what the preprogrammed channels are while I wait for the cable to arrive.

which includes how to hack your own cable.

CW: lowest cost DMR radio
I just ordered a Cotre CO04D for $17 (plus a $13 programming cable).
jhart99 has a series of posts about these radios, which are based on the very low cost all-in-one Auctus A6 radio SoC.

He also published some code (in Python) for hacking on these things.

If I can get this to work, it can be the walkie-talkie thing to talk to the hotspot for a few channels.
