    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

  11. My Pi-Star hotspot has a read-only filesystem by default. It runs Tailscale, which really wants a read/write filesystem.

    Fixed by spending a minute every 100 days manually logging in to the hotspot and setting the filesystem as read/write and then starting Tailscale.

    Maybe fixable: #systemd unit to set filesystem as read/write before it launches Tailscale? Unlikely to take less than a minute every 100 days to debug this.

  12. I normally run a duplex hotspot on a Pi Zero W - today that didn't seem to want to work on the fly, so I went drawer scavanging and found an old Raspberry Pi B+ (yup, no version number - it's the 2014 version). It works, amazingly, but MAN is the web dashboard slow. #AmateurRadio #DMR #pistar

  13. HamClock и Pi-Star — запускаем сервер радиолюбительского приложения на «малинке»

    Привет, Хабр! Это Виктор Сергеев, автор команды спецпроектов МТС Диджитал. В детстве я очень любил фантастику и обожал представлять себя в кабине космического корабля с кучей экранов, светящихся индикаторов и переключателей. Рабочее место современного радиолюбителя очень похоже на такой корабль, чему мы обязаны развитию недорогих одноплатников. Они же позволяют создавать портативные, но функциональные устройства, вроде хотспотов MMDVM (Multi-Mode Digital Voice Modem). MMDVM представляет собой самую обычную «‎малинку» Raspberry Pi Zero W с дополнительной платой (HS shield), на которой реализован радиотракт. В рабочем режиме нагрузка на процессор не слишком велика, а большую часть времени он вообще находится в простое. Именно это обстоятельство позволяет добавить внутрь очень востребованный у радиолюбителей инструмент — HamClock . О нем и расскажу.

  14. I run a DMR hotspot using a duplex MMDVM board on a Raspberry Pi 3B running Pi-Star. A couple of power outages eventually corrupted the superblock on the SD card. I could get it to boot if I hooked up a keyboard and monitor to force it through the boot but today I caved and formatted and re-imaged it. Now I’m running 4.2.1 instead of 4.1.8 and it’s back to normal operation. Should have done it sooner.

  15. @HopelessDemigod No luck, either the pager is bad, or just will not work with #pistar I spent most of the afternoon trying to get it working, and trying to get my old #Dapnet #pager working, no luck.... but also in the box I found a couple of other pagers that do appear to work. Problem with them they are right on the edge of the band.

    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?

    #HAMR #HamRadio #Va6LAT #PiStar

  18. I am going to regret not sitting in the little chair. At least this will be more fun than configuring #PiStar #JumboSpot

  19. @bud_t Thanks Bud, I may take you up on that. I believe it runs #PiStar I just went for the prebuilt one. Could not stomache another #RaspberryPi build project and the #TIME for it. 73 #VA6LAT

  20. Any DMR hams share their Pi-Star configs anywhere? My SD card died and I didn't have my config backed up so I'm looking for some inspiration for creative setups!

    I don't like to use Brandmeister because they keep banning all my queer friends, so setups that include FreeDMR and other smaller networks are a huge plus.

  21. 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!

    #hamr #pistar

  22. 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.

  23. 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.

    #HamRadio #hamr

  24. Attention #FT70 owners:

    This is your monthly reminder that, if you intend to use it for #PiStar / #MMDVM, you can just plug it in to power and take the battery out.

    Your battery will thank you.

    I have to forget and remember this at least once a month.

  25. 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.

    #hamradio #Hamr

  26. Meanwhile, on the #hamradio side I bought a Yaesu FT-3D so now I need to get my #pistar #mmdvm duplex hotspots updated and on-tune again.

  27. Two releases for #pistar in the span of a month! The latest adds early signs of #M17project support, but the release notes say not really ready yet.

    Happy to see pi-star still alive, as the forked alternative is a non-starter for me.

    (hey, I am happy to see software forked, just not going to hitch my wagon to that particular forker for reasons.)

  32. I started up my MMDVM hotspot for the first time in ages to monitor some DMR talkgroups and look at those beautiful loss and error rate numbers!

  33. 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.

  37. If you ever wanted to know what's going on in your talkgroups on your local hotspot, I've you covered. Right now it's in the state of "working for me" and requires some more documentation :) But here is how it looks like. It uses Munin for monitoring - yes, I already older and like #perl

  38. Well this evening I had a really good chat to friend in Germany via a #YSF reflector in the UK, and I was doing #DMR2YSF cross-over at my end and it worked really well, it was my first really world test for a #QSO of 30min plus with no real dropouts or distortion etc.

    Very happy with my #W0CHP #PiStar #Dash doing the hard work of coverting DMR TG to YSF reflector as there was no real transcoding done as DMR & YSF use the same vocoder.

    #hamradio #digital #duplex #hotspot

  39. Well I have had a chance to play around with #W0CHP #PiStar Dash and it rather nice. I have #FreeDMR and #DMR2YSF cross-over running in both directions, it also seems to have fixed couple other annoyances I was having.

    So will see how we going over the next month or so with it.

    Next on the list is to deal with the Aliexpress SHARI clone I have, just need to do backup on old install to add to the new microSDHC I have #hamvoip installed on.

    #hamradio #digital

  40. new 32gb high endurance micro SD cards for #PiStar and #ASL nodes

    Thanks to #dashcam community for the need for better and more reliable micro #sdcards

    #hamradio #digital

  41. Finally got off my arse and added #DMR2YSF to my #Pi-Star #hotspot, and it seems to working not to bad.

    Seem traffic locally on the hotspot will go from dmr2ysf to dmr on the #Pride #Radio #Network but I can't hear anything going the opposite way 😿

    Anyways it been fun, it kept me off the streets and out the pub 😹

    At some stage I really should do up another SDCard and checkout #W0CHP #PiStar #Dash

    #hamradio #digital #voice

  42. DAPNET pager setup seems to be working, up to a point. I'm seeing messages directed to the "us-mi" gateway (good), and seeing transmissions on my pi-star (good), but the Flipper Zero isn't hearing them (bad).

    My best bet is that the pi-star is a little off frequency compared to the Flipper Zero and that I'll need to tweak the calibration. Time to get the SDR out to see what I can see.

    If you are on DAPNET please page me at "w8emv" via "us-all" or "us-mi".

  43. wait, my #pistar has #POCSAG tx support!

    some details at

    einstein.amsterdam/?page_id=21

    Ticket open with DAPNET, since it's entirely possible that I could make this all work once I get all of the accounts configured.

  44. Okay, #HamRadio Mastodon, I have a question that I apparently need handholding to answer:

    I have a #Radioddity #GD88 that I want to use to send #DMR SMS msgs to #SMSGTE.

    I have DMR working. I have a #PiStar working and comms with #BrandMeister.

    What specific steps do I need to take to actually get this thing to correctly send a DMR SMS to my phone?

    Also trying to get #APRS text messaging working, but that seems like it might be a missing feature, not a lack of understanding.
