How to find DMR activity on Brandmeister for ham radio
มุมมอง 7883 ปีที่แล้ว
This is just a quick video to explain how to find and predict activity on the BrandMeister Network. Don't forget top like and subscribe. 73, W7DOA
Thanks for this great info! I’m been trying to find out what the RX Group is used for since I got my DMR radio few weeks ago, but couldn’t find anyone who could explain it to me as clearly as you did.
Rahn, This video is "outstanding !!!" compared to any other DMR presentations I've attended or online tutorials. I'm actually getting a handle on this finally.
This is gold thank you
Very well made video. First time on your channel. Liked it! 73 SM3JVS
Nice explanation: I didn't understand anything.
Great Video !! As I listened driving down the road, I was able to follow in my mind eye. Thanks !! New Info ! 73
Thank you so much for a fantastic explaination of RX Groups . Awesome . 73's ZL1GGL Grant
Your not telling us anything, whats a Radio ID for? And made up contact and groups? Poor explanation. One and one equals three?
Hello Ron! Great info in this video, as always. I've been having a problem this last week that I would like to solicit your help on. It's the DISPLAY TAB I think I need to focus on. Both my wife and I have the same 878uv radio. On my CPS, I go to comport/write to radio. When I transmit in DMR, my name, callsign come up on the [secondary] display when transmitting. Then shows [B] last call sign, [B] last group and [B] last caller] on the main display, but turning the radio off, then turning it on again, the display does NOT show my callsign, DMR number or any of my info. I have updated my CPS AND the firmware to 3.02, as well as initialize the radios. Still no info on the display. I just checked into my local DMR net tonight, no display info. In my CPS these are the settings I have in the "optional settings" display tab: optional settings/display/last caller "both". call display mode "name based". display current contact "on". Is there someplace else in the optional settings that I should look to eliminate the problem? The radios are not saving the info somehow. Never had this happen before. What am I missing? Many thanks for taking the time to respond! Vry 73 de Joaquin
Thanks Ron, great info
Thank you very much for all this information. I am New with this radio and I saw couple videos, but not so deep on the setting like your video. 🫡📡 KE2AUM-73
Great video chocked full of excellent DMR information. Thanks for taking the time to record this for the amateur radio world. I am new to DMR although I have been an amateur radio operator for 65 years. I plan on purchasing the Anytone 878 uvii Plus in the coming weeks and am eager to join the ranks of DMR operators. This video was very helpful to me in understanding the Optional Settings of the CPS. Prior to watching your video scrolling through that section of the CPS was like reading hieroglyphics!
I am glad you found it helpful
Thanks! I have always had “FPP” (front panel keyboard programmable) type portable radios, starting with the Motorola JT1000’s and moving to the XTS2500 and 5000. All of a sudden, Motorola decided to completely cripple the XPR7550e radio. I need DMR / P25 / Analog and only one or two VERY PRICEY radios currently exist with multiple digital protocols. So.. I ended up buying a Motorola APX8000 ($6900) for Analog and P25 and the AnyTone D878UVii ($310) for VHF/UHF DMR. The AnyTone certainly isn’t “public safety grade”, but is an excellent little radio at a phenomenal price. You can change most settings you’d ever want to change - out in the field without a cumbersome computer. The radio has an incredible amount of features. Everything from “promiscuous mode” on both timeslots to 2-tone sequential paging encode and decode. Pretty much the only signaling system missing is MDC1200. (ANI + Emergency call + subscriber control services). I sure wish AnyTone would make a similar radio with P25 / DMR / Analog + MDC + a more rugged housing. I’d easily pay double or triple the current price. Well.. Thanks again for the deep dive into the AnyTone features!
I just Updated my Anytone 878UV Plus to version 3.02n and My GPS now gets a signal within 2 minutes of turning it on. Update your radio and give it a try. I am super happy now that they have fixed it.
I have an 878UV+ manufactured in Feb of 2020 and it routinely takes 45 minutes or more to get a lock if it ever does get one. I guess the Plus means additional time waiting on GPS lock.
Great channel and info 👍
I just got an 878IIplus. I am mew to DMR and appreciate the time you take for educational videos as such. I learned a lot and look forward to learning more. Thx
I was watching the Video and was wondering; can't you use the 4000 disconnect when leaving a talk group? looks like it would free it up faster. just guessing not sure.
Very good explanation, thank you sir!
Hi. Thanks for your great video. I have an AT-D878UVII-Plus. Do you know where I can get a list of detailed definitions or explanations of what each of the couple dozen terms/options for the 5 programmable buttons do? The 48 page paper manual does not provide much to define those terms or the best use of each of those programable button functions. I understand that the programming of those P buttons depend on the primary uses of the radio, such as using repeaters vs. hotspot; using mostly digital vs. analogue; traveling or stationary. I hope someone can come up with the most helpful programming of these buttons for each of these use scenarios. 73
Thanks you’re a huge help. I think you understand these radios more than any TH-camr there is. I’m curious do you have a good frequency list for 2 meter and 70 cm in Montana. I run all the way from Idaho up in to Havre Montana I delivered to all the Walmart stores I’m having a hard time finding good frequencies for the 2 m and 70 cm in Montana. One of these days when I figure DMR out I’ll need to get those frequencies for Montana also thanks Thanks
The best place to get repeater information is Google search 'Gallatin Ham Radio Club' On their website on the left hand side towards the bottom there is a link to repeaters. Harley's repeater maps are great. There is one for VHF and one for UHF. Be away that many UHF repeaters have been converted to DMR. DMR information in Montana go to dmr-montana dot net.
HI.... how to exclude "miss call" prompt?
I don't know how to completely exclude it. In the Optional Functions area, under the "Alert" tab you can turn off the alert tone. Additionally, in the Digital Functions tab you can filter your own ID from the missed call. So you won't get a missed call alert when you are checking the parrot talk group. But it won't stop the notification from other callers trying to contact you.
I enjoyed this video. It cleared up several things for me. I have a question about the record option refered to on page 34 section 7.8 of the users manual. They mention an option to increase the total record time from 10 hours to 500 hours and the capability to record both analog and digital audio. how can I tell if my AT-D878 UVII Plus has this option, and if it does not have it how can I add the option?
It should have that option. I believe it's in one of the menu options at the top. I have my last kid going off to college shortly and I should be able to get my studio back and I'll start digging into some of these topics more.
I would love for you to cover the auto repeater tab on the optional settings. I would also love to know in the programming guide how you an get the offset to change the transmit automatically based on freq. Great stuff. and Thanks for the video!
I am not really sure. I usually just program my offset in. I'll have to dig into that a little and see what I can find out. I should have some time in the near future to start getting back into filming some videos.
Hi W7DOA Can I program the brandmeister tg's and use them on a DMR repeater not linked to brandmeister? In my area only 1 repeater near me linked to BM but I have other DMR repeaters just not linked to BM
I don't believe you can use Brandmeister DMR talk groups on repeaters that are not connected to the Brandmeister Network. It's kinda like you can't use your neighbor's computer network unless you are connected to it. However, some networks have bridges that connect one or more of their talk groups to others like Brandmeister. But they may only be one or two talk groups.
@@WDOAatHamRadio i have another question, maybe you know the answer. Every dmr repeater tells you which time slot to use and when you follow their instructions and ptt that tg it seems traffic is dead. seems like a ghost town, maybe 1,2 people on. But if you switch to let's say ts2 which is the one they usually tell you its private then you hear traffic!!! and by the way brandmeister tg work on non brandmeister dmr repeater. So any how is there anyway to get that traffic if they don't want you to use ts2 ?
Without knowing the exact repeater or setup, I'm kinda guessing here. Locally, TS2 is not really "private". But it is reserved for only one TG that is associated with the owners of the repeater. This guarantees that the owners will always have at least one group they can get through on. Anyone can use that TG, they just don't like other TG's on that TS. And there may not be many people using that one TG. On the otherhand, TS1 has several static TG's on it and if you want to use a dynamic TG, they encourage you to use TS1. This may make it seem like there is more traffic on TS1, rather than TS2. If you are supposed to use a specific TG on one TS, but you are hearing more traffic on that TG on the other TS, then there may be other people in the area that have their radio programmed incorrectly and are bringing that TG up as dynamic on the other TG. It's really hard to tell without knowing the specifics.
@@WDOAatHamRadio that does make sense
where do I set the time out when transmitting in analog mode
That setting can be found in the "Optional settings" section of the CPS and look under the "Other" tab. Right near the top it will say "TOT" That stands for "Time Out Timer". Set that to how many seconds you want your radio to transmit before reaching the Time Out limit. Additionally, on the right side of that same scream there is an option for TOT Predict. This will give you a beep 5 seconds before hitting the TOT limit. Letting you know you've rambled on long enough and to get off the mic. Haha.
Bravo !!!
This helps out thanks for going over this.
I plan to buy a dmr radio next year can I use a dmr radio free ID to talk in talk groups or do I need a licence for that am just new to all of this
If you plan on talking on ham radio freq's and talkgroups you will need to get a license from the country you live in. Once you have the license you an apply for and get the DMR ID which is free to get. But yes, you will need a license first.
You need to be a FCC licensed amateur radio operator at a minimum of technician level. You won't be able to get a digital radio ID without port of license.
Informative and not overly computer-technobabbled! Thanks for that. I love this new mode but just understanding how everything is related to each other can make for a steep learning curve. 73, KQ6FU
Thank you. Just think of most things in DMR as a filter. Either a filter at the radio or at the repeater.
Very helpful again. Finally i understand this functions. 👍😁
Ty for your videos, they helped me a lot. 73.
Glad to help
fantastic video
Thank you! 😃
👍
This is really really helpful, thanks very much!
Glad it was helpful!
Well these radios work with Kenwood Nexedge? And would you make a video using it thank you.
These radios only do analog and DMR. They will not work with Kenwood NXDN.
Your audio was very low. Had to use audio boost to fix.
Sorry about that, I think that video I kinda threw together quick.
It is so cool you are taking your time to teach others! I didnt know all this till now :)
Happy to help!
Great video Rahn and love your new studio😉
Great video. I learned quite a bit. I look forward to the digital monitor video and I would really like to see a video on the settings for just the D578 radio. Thanks for what you do.
I just put up a video on scan lists, receive groups and digital monitor. I'll work on the D578 video.
Thanks Rahn. Whenever I can I will show this to new hams. I can use their CPS to show them how to program their radio, but it is very hard to tell them how it works. 73 Gene N7ARO
Thank you for this video. Most videos of the internet, even payed ones just focus on programing the code plugs without explaining the basic concepts involved.
Glad you liked it!
@@WDOAatHamRadio thank you for this video I am a new ham VA4YYZ 16 and I have a CH 6DMR and this helped lots
I'd like to have a closer look at the "mini" device you show at about 1:04.
Viola, that is an ATEM Mini produced by BlackMagic Design. I have since upgraded to an ATEM Mini Pro. Search on TH-cam for ATEM Mini, ATEM Mini Pro, and you will find tons of videos about them. They also make an ATEM Mini Pro ISO, and just released is an ATEM Mini Extreme.
@@rahnabbott3744 I know it's a little off-topic relative to HAM radio, but I'd like to see the rest of your setup for video production. Thank you for the reply. I'll be looking at the ATEMs.
@@yourpersonalmythology I don't have it all set up at the moment. As you can tell, I haven't posted a video since Sept. LOL. The setup was pretty basic. I had a couple cameras, and old Panasonic, and a Canon HF R700 that were both being fed into the ATEM mini. The ATEM mini was controlled by a run of the mill office style laptop. Then I had a second laptop that I was running my software on that I could send the screen out over HDMI to the ATEM mini. It was all recorded on the first laptop and edited there and uploaded to TH-cam. When I get a second I will post a video of what I have going on.
Thank you again. It's nice to have a contact list that's been modified for the 878 because people have been reporting column problems with the original.
Thank you, Rahn. So glad I found your channel. Very helpful presentations.
Thank you so much. Glad I found your channel. Lots of great information.
So here is a question with optional settings.... Is there a way to export the optional settings? I say this because I was using N0GSG Contact Manager and took my good working codeplug and then copy and pasted a zone from another codeplug I had made to merge into my good known working codeplug. All was good but each time, it loses my optional settings. I am only pasting in a zone and nothing else from the ther instance of N0GSG Contact Manager. It's nice to use Contact Manager to do this and would still save me time even if I had to rework my optional settings but I would prefer not to do that.
I will have to download N0GSG and try it. I just looked through the export list and I don't see a way to export the Optional Settings on their own. I will try N0GSG and see if I can recreate it.
So I didn't copy and paste another zone into N0GSG. But I had to export from the Anytone CPS into a DCF file in order for N0GSG to read it. I then added a zone and saved it back as a rdt file. Loaded it and all my optional settings stayed the same. So I can't recreate it. I don't have another code plug to copy and paste a zone from. I will keep working on it and if I can recreate it and find a fix, I will post a solution back here. That's the best I can do at the moment.
@@WDOAatHamRadio thanks so much for your efforts, why I love the ham community. After further detailed research it was only three tabs in the options that changed. When I get back home I'll respond but one of the tabs was the custom key programming as well as the display tab where colors for screen are set.
Thanks for all the effort! Only video I found that was very detailed on the options menu. Will be watching all the videos now. Subscribed!
Thank you. I guess I better get busy making some more.
