We were able to do a private call between ourselves yesterday by creating each other as a digital contact in our radios.&nbsp; Then, you just go back in to view that contact and press the PTT and call them just like you would on an analog radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is pretty cool, but it is only a 1-1, two radio conversation.&nbsp; I am working on getting us an actual talkgroup so that we can have multiple participants in a QSO.&nbsp; According to the Brandmeister page, how you do that is just to find one that is not in use and start using it.&nbsp; They want you to use it for a couple of months before formally requesting it, in order to ensure that it&#8217;s free and unused, and then you apply for it and they will name it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it stands now, I am using Brandmeister TG&nbsp;<strong>31415&nbsp;<\/strong>(yes, that&#8217;s the first 5 digits of pi, and yes I am that much of a nerd), and if it&#8217;s open, we would ask BM to name it W\u00d8NED.&nbsp; So I have created that TG in my radio, and a channel linking to it in my code plug, and I will be monitoring it as much as possible today and in the future.&nbsp; If it&#8217;s open, and we get it, we could possibly link that to our repeater in the future, and then anyone, anywhere would be able to get into our repeater if they had a hotspot.&nbsp; We have several members who would benefit from that.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing that I did was to search the list of digital contacts, and add anyone associated with the club who has a DMR ID.&nbsp; Apologies if I missed anyone.&nbsp; I added them all to my friends list, and created them as talkgroups.&nbsp; A .csv file has been uploaded to the image file folder of the club&#8217;s shared drive with this data in it.&nbsp; Add these to your DMR TGs.&nbsp; Here is a screenshot of everyone I was able to find.&nbsp; If there are others, please let me know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/w0ned.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dmr_contacts.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/w0ned.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dmr_contacts.png 512w, https:\/\/w0ned.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dmr_contacts-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">DMR Contacts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who do not yet have&nbsp;a DMR hotspot, here is a link to the DMR hotspot that I bought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MMDVM Hotspot Spot Radio WiFi Digital Voice Modem Work Contained with Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with Firmware V4.1.5 UHF VHF | Ethernet Cable | Supports C4FM YSF NXDN DSTAR P25 DMR\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"735\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_F4wZ8yf2HUekOc&#038;asin=B088PP3TVR&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And here is the one that I&nbsp;<em><strong>would&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em>have bought, had I known about how the duplex model allows you to disconnect from or change talkgroups while listening to a busy channel or talkgroup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Duplex MMDVM Hotspot Radio Station P25 DMR Hotspot Antenna WiFi Digital Voice Modem Support YSF Raspberry Pi Zero\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"735\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_PaA5MPviAlhjoV&#038;asin=B08K8VYJTS&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The pi-star setup for the hotspot can be a little vexing initially, but it&#8217;s not as difficult as it seems, and Scott and I can walk you through it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned for more.&nbsp;
