Configuring Pi-Star YSF2DMR for the Yaesu FT5DR and BrandMeister
A tested setup for using a Yaesu FT5DR with Pi-Star YSF2DMR and BrandMeister, including DMR ID registration, hotspot security, talkgroup selection, five-digit FT5DR entry, and the current radio-control limitation.https://fallbackengineering.com/2026/07/14/configure-pi-star-ysf2dmr-ft5dr-brandmeister/

Understanding Pi-Star as a Digital Voice Gateway
A practical overview of Pi-Star: what a node is, how a hotspot bridges an RF radio to digital voice networks, and where modes such as YSF, DMR, D-Star, NXDN, P25, and cross-mode links fit.https://fallbackengineering.com/2026/07/14/understanding-pi-star-digital-voice-gateway/

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

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.

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

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.

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. #hamradio #dmr #pistar

@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.

No Local RF actvity. #JumboSpot

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

@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

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.

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.
