MMDVM Hotspot hat for a Raspberry Pi is what we mainly use in the ham world for this kind of situation

You would need a board that could support duplex

You would have to set-up a private host so that it doesn't connect to any ham networks

Private channels are a thing so no need to worry about that

Pistar or WSPD is the os for the Pi

Getting pmr to work would need analog FM mode but with a bit of effort this could be achieved

I finally got around to posting my DMR hospot upgrade story/notes on my blog:

Well, I am stumped. For THREE years now, I have been trying to get my #ICOM705 connected to #DSTAR

I can hear people on the radio, but I cannot get a signal out? Any Elmer's here that can help me figure this out?

I am monitoring the PRIDE #YSF reflector, YSF85527. If you'd like to help me test my local #HamRadio control software, hop on and let's talk!

Testing through #YSF parrot let me tune my radio and audio settings to make something that doesn't sound half bad. #HamRadio #hamr

This is going out through a #digirig, to an #FT70, encoded to YSF, to a #Pistar, up through to parrot, and then back through that rigamarole.

Literally the whole reason I'm making this project is so I can sit on my ass at my desk and talk to people on #YSF via my #PiStar.

In the long run, I may turn it into the application I wanted a few months ago (that is, shooting the audio out over the network to my shack), but for now, this is pretty handy. I need to find some YSF rooms that are active this evening and give it a try.

Seeing some weird behavior with #PiStar #YSF. The audio coming in is garbled, and there appears to be some transmission issues, too. My audio got out for a little while, but ended up breaking down during a net on Saturday.

Per the video, the DATA is making it all the way to my radio (I can see callsigns), but the audio is seriously garbled.

Anyone ever experience this? I'm currently in the process of re-flashing pi-star image.

Today: #DMR hotspot is up!

I got a duplex one, so dad can take one time slot for his QSOs, and I can take the other. Antennas are resonant around 433, and I do believe 433/438 are generally within the hotspot range, so I'll add a random offset around there just to make sure I don't conflict with anyone nearby.
