I have to say I've been working on this for a few months and even replaced my Raspberry Pi Zero w card thinking I broke it. After watching this video, I'm back on the air! So grateful, am subscribed and looking forward to learning more from you.
I love you, man. You saved a LOT of headscratching for me. Great stuff. Connecting to YSF was a breeze. DMR is a different animal.
I'm new to DMR and digital. This was a LifeSaver video as far as I'm concerned. Watched another one from someone else, he left out SOOOOO much stuff it's almost unbelievable. Great job. Thanks for the Help!
Eric, Many thanks for a great tutorial! With your help I managed to get mine set up and working on DMR in about 30 minutes! 73
There’s a reason you have100k+ subscribers. Clearest help I found on setting up my DMR ZUMspot. Thank you!
Thanks sir! I've been beating my head against the wall for the last 3 days trying to get this to work. Been on DStar for a few years and decided to give DMR a try with this GD73 I recently picked up. Figured why not for 80 bucks, something new to try/learn. Was getting pretty frustrated until I found your vid! Thanks!
I’ve watched a number of videos on this topic. I think this is the most complete and useful one I’ve seen. Great job!
Thanks for this video! I had been struggling to program my hotspot off and on for a while. Following this video made it easy as pi.
Great info, worked perfectly. Reset, cleaned out messed up values, and got it working in under 7 minutes. Thanks!
Excellent. Being new to Pi-Star and DMR, this was very useful to get me up and running.
Thank you Eric. You're the most articulate of all HAM TH-camrs. I definitely need your videos. I'm going to see your D-STAR and C4FM videos.
This is great, set up my jumbo spot last night and watched your video just to make sure I was using it right haha. Good to go here, thanks
Thank you so mutch for this superb tutorial.In about one month i will receive my callsign. I graduated ham exam an i bougted my radio and the hotspot. 73 from YO4
Thank you! I'll be getting my first DMR HT in a few days. Already have my dvmega/pi setup for dstar, and going to setup DMR also (yes, they do DMR lol). Just got my DMR ID today. Yaaaay!
Great video. Answered all my questions about DMR. Waiting for parts to arrive for my hotspot.
Thank you for the time it took to make this video. My hotspot is up and running.
Thanks for the tutorial that you made it has helped me configure my pi star Hotspot just got on the air today now looking for some good top groups
Thank you so much. Not only are you helping your customers, but others as well. I just got my hotspot up and running and was getting real bad results. I am down to .02 now. Thanks!
Thank you. I'll use it to program my jumbo hotspot unit. You got my 5 stars!
A greatt video which helps you follow the correct method to set up your hotspot. Got me on air at last for DMR and thank you.
Thanks for the video. I was at a loss as what was wrong with my spot. Now I feel a lot better about the whole thing. 73 K1SLT
Thank you, this was very helpful in programming my DMR radio!!
I feel like such an idiot. I spent about an hour troubleshooting this and not even five minutes into the video, you mentioned changing the callsign. "Wait...did I forget to change my callsign!?" Sure enough, that's exactly what it was. Thank you!
Your awesome,Great Video! One of my friends was having an issue with this same exact set up, and because of this Video I am sure his problems will be solved. Thank You De N1UFO/Gabe 73.
Nice job, this was very helpful and comprehensive
Erick, many many thanks, I have spent hours trying to setup my hotspot and now I see where I was going wrong. There are so many videos on setup, but yours actually showed the setup! 73s and I hope to speak to you soon! M0NBB
Awesome video, don't think I would have got my hotspot on the air without it.
Much appreciated! Just getting into DMR and this video was very helpful. Saving it to the Ham Radio playlist :-)
Excellent video!! Helped me get my pi star configured. With the offset the BER is 0.0%!!! Awesome!! Keep it up!!! W9JTC
Thanks for the informative video, I have a ZUMSpot and used your setup. Followed on one computer and accessed hot spot on another, step by step. Thanks again. N9TDE
Thank you Eric for this great video
Thanks for this tutorial! I’m new to DMR. I just got a d878uv and a hotspot and I’ll set it up tomorrow, using your step-by-step video. It all looks pretty straight forward! M7XDM :)
I'm very grateful how complete you made the steps of your presentation. If it worked for an old phart, it will work for anyone. Yes... you did slow down (not too much) and yes I'm old, but If whatever happenes before you open the tin wasn't clear, it was by the time the contents had been poured out (sorry about the analogy) Cheers.. and thank you for making the video.
Thank you. Appreciate the speed. Really understood it. Thanks again and 73.
Good job, Eric.
You make it look so easy you leave out alot of information especially how much space in your computer this program takes!! So no i have a jumbo hot spot i cant use because i cant afford a computer with a gig of space to waste on one program!! Thanks for making it look so simple but not talking about the fact you need an expensive computer to program it. .. i find out in alot of these videos there is always SOMETHING you leave out you take fro granted that we need to know..
I am a noob also and I learned a lot from this video and also amateurradionotes.com/pi-star.htm You don't need to install anything on the PC. All of the programming is on the Pi sd card. The Pi has a server and you connect to the pi-star program through a browser (Chrome, Firefox etc) on your PC or Mac at the address pi-star/ (pi-star.local/ on a Mac). The above link is a great starting point. HTH
This got me online with my hotspot, thank you!
Thanks for your effort. Helpful video...
Thank you for your info video, you have given me lots of new information to program my Pi Star with, many thanks.
Thank you very much i finally got my dash set up right much mahalos from hawaii 73s
Very Informative and helpfull Thank you
E X C E L L E N T !!!
Thanks you answered questions I did not know I had.
good vid pro. Just got my hot spot to work. thanks again.
Can't thank you enough for this!
Great video and very helpful. Thank you.
I just spent hours messing with the hotspot. Five minutes of your video and found the solution, was the TX/RX Offset not being set to -475. Thanks for the video.
Thank you , Worked great
Would love to see another video on this for setting up System Fusion. Appreciate your video's!
ive setup up fusion and it works ok but ive got the same radio as him and it wont connect to the hotspot is seems fusion is a lot easier to get into than DMR
Excellent Video. I followed the previous video and had a couple of difficulties, but it is all worked out. One thing I would like to add regarding the DMR ID. If you are running the Jumbo Spot in private mode, the DMR ID in the Jumbo Spot and the radio need to be the same. If they are different, the radio and Jumbo Spot do not communicate and you get an error on the live logs that says "RF User ####### rejected". If you operate the Jumbo Spot in public mode, any DMR ID will be able to access the Jumbo Spot. At least that is one of the problems I had. The reason I had this problem is I assumed you needed a separate DMR ID for each device, and I applied for and received 2 DMR IDs.
Hi Eric, just found your video as I’ve just bought a DMR hotspot and was needing to find out how to program it. Thank you, I may consult it again when I can set mine up. Phillip - MM7BCL
Your awesome! I love your videos, Please note that there are new FW versions of the Jumbospot (1.3.7 I belive) and PI-Star (3.4.15)
Thanks for the post 📯
Great info!
Good video, helped me solve a technical issue. Thanks, Barry K6ST
I've had my Nano Spot for about a year. Thanks to this video I think my hotspot is programmed right. Now to work on the Ailunce HD-1. Something is not right with it 73 NE5U
Very helpful thanks
Thanks for this video. Solved a problem none of the others did...73 de N4KYO
A Googleplex to the fifth power of thanks!!!! Your video de-screwed my Pi hotspot!!!!
thanks for the video makes sense
Excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad I found this. The only change I had to make was the RXOffset on mine is -475. It doesn't say anything about the TXOffset though, so I'm leaving that at 0.
I am by no means certain but I believe the transmit offset should be the same, have a look on Ebay, one of the kits has that in the description
@@g0fvt Sometimes it's the same, sometimes it's not. WHen I set my board to the required TX offset, my radio wouldn't receive. Tune into a parrot or echo talk group and use that to tune your receive offset, just like you do your transmit.
@@ScottPettigrew my MMDVM is operating with the suggested +500 correction on both transmit and receive, certainly the received BER is very low not easy to gauge in the opposite direction. FWIW my MMDVM is not the full duplex capable version.
Thanks!
Great video, just got a rt52 and a hotspot today and was really struggling with the setup, having seen this I've made a glaring error lol, I'll deal with it tomorrow though now as it's past midnight ZzZzZzZ...
Hi Eric, I’m just getting into the Amateur Radio hobby and as my first radio I purchased an HT with DMR capability. I found this video very informative and it answered a lot of the questions I had about connecting to talk groups, etc. The question I still have though is, does it work the same way for repeaters that are advertised as supporting DMR?
Thanks in advance, 73
Thank you very much very helpful video. I need more information about DMR transceiver set up. Could you kindly show me how to configure a minimum set up on TYT MD-380 ? Thank you in advance.
I recently got my DMR to work with my Zumspt but I seem to notice that when I am on the local repeater that I can hear a conversation on a talkgroup but when I switch to the Zumspot I dont hear anything on the same group but the Zumspot lights up when somebody is keying up and my HT shows a full signal receiving. When I do “parrot” on the zumspot it works, when I try the 5000 channel it works. What do I change in the zumspot settings??? My BER is at 1.2% on the pi-star dashboard and lights up green. I am using a Anytone 868UV
73,

Half I dont understand and half I dont wanna explain. Dyin right now. Best line I ever heard from you hahaha. EPIC
"Complete Tutorial" is mere clickbait, in that case.
Eric, thanks for the great video. I have one question, when you change talk groups do you need to key the ptt so the hotspot knows what room to monitor?
Thank you so much for this vireo.. Plain talk wind every time :)
Thank you thank you thank you, I was about ready to take this thing out back and hit with a hammer to see if I could get to work. I bought it from a company that told me it was supposedly 100% set up all's I needed to do was add my Wi-Fi info.
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to create... One this to consider is that the OLED display needs to be set to Type 6 in the expert configuration for the MMDVMHost. This is probably already set in the bundled system, but if you do a Pi-Star image update that parameter seems to get lost.
Thanks again. 73!
I think it depends on the display size. From what I could tell, the .98" display requires OLED 3 while the larger >1" screen is OLED 6. The Jumbospot I'm using has the smaller screen and OLED 3 is working. :)
Hi, can you please do a video on how to set up 2 handhelds to use with a duplex hotspot board? How to do the codeplugs and how to set up pistar for duplex operation.
Thanks. Very enlightening. (maybe give the mouse half a tranquilizer 😁 )
Hi! I wonder if TS and CC in the radio configuration relates to the hotspot or desired TG settings?
Great video. I am a neophyte. On the expert panel after setting the offset. So I make a transmission. Where do I see the bit error rate? And, when you set the transmit (simplex frequency I presume) in Pi-Star do I have to set the same frequency on the HT?
This pi-star interface looks great. If only someone could made a grafical user interface for svxlink. I miss the private rooms with d-star, with echolink u got a liitle bit more privacy
I have the "Duplex Repeater (or Half-Duplex on Hotspots)
" Not sure how to set that up for RX/TX and the Radio/Modem Type:
How did he get to that screen just to set it up? What is a dashboard? How do you get the "control software". This is the problem most people have that are new! A lot of folks would love to follow these instructions if they just knew how to get to where this video started!
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I still can't communicate through the radio to the Jumbo Spot. My Jumbo Spot didn't come with any paperwork or sticker to tell me what the offset was. I have tried everything from +2500 down to -2500 in 100 increments, and I still can't get the Jumbo Spot to respond. Is there anything you can tell me that might help me get this thing working?
can i erase frequency feeded of group of sets simultaneously on dmr set remotely by using wireless system without knowing id. please reply
So, when I have a Pi-Star hotspot, and I want to connect it to my private server. How do I do that? My server is most definitely not in that drop down list.
And if I have 3 radio's that want to listen to 3 different groups, how do I set that?
Do I need to turn off the DStar mode if I am operating with my DMR radio, and vice versa? Or, can I leave both modes on regardless of what radio I use? I assume that I need to change the Simplex frequency regardless. Thanks!
Hey Eric
Thanks for the post 📯 do you have one for programming the radio for hotspot.
I can't remember
Nice job, TYVM. But at the end, what do you mean by only transmit on time slot 2? That is based on the repeater talkgroup correct? If not what/where is that setting in pi-star...
In my case, I can not receipt any talk group pop up in my dashboard but I can transmit my signal to my hotspot (my dashboard respond it). Shall we need to have same frequency with other member in TG?. My Echo test also not working.
I still stuck in a couple weeks // OMG.
Thank you.
Great video on the bottom of my pi star page I do not have the wifii config tab , where does that come from and how can I include that .thanks Jimm VE1JXT
Is the configuration stored on the SD card? Are configurations swappable? For instance, I want to use one hotspot for home and travel. Can I have different SD cards to swap SSIDs without going through reconfiguring every time?
And will this video apply to the DVMEGA I ordered a DVMEGA and Anytone 878 from Bridgecom and am interested in maybe doing other modes after playing on DMR for awhile and hope the hotspot I ordered will do the other modes as well
my dmr id is from marc do i need to setup one from brandmeister to use with the hotspot or can i use my marc dmr id the status boxes on dash go green then red again
Erick I would like to Thank You for this and you’re other helpful videos saved me a lot of frustration Jim K4YNA
I hear people talking on TG 3 through my local repeater but not through the pi-star. When I look at the Brandmeister website, I don't see TG 3 at all, however North America is listed as TG 93. Does this mean the pi-star can only listen to talk groups listed on the Brandmeister website?
- KD2LNG
are they both the same number for the RX/TX offset?
Thanks for this video, Just got hold of a Zum Spot (June 2020) and hoping to get on air on DMR. Just found it a little confusing when you went to the bottom left of the screen to click for screen changes. I assumed you would be using the top page menu or am I missing something ? Thanks, Steve G6JEF
Hi Eric a very informative video iv recently built a hotspot using a raspberry pi zero with a mmdvm hat primarily to use on ysf iv followed lots of TH-cam videos but for some reason the hotspot will not receive when I tx to it but I am hearing stations chatting on the cq-uk room which is what iv set it up for also I’m not able to tx the the parrot server. Any tips of where to go from here would be much appreciated 73
Eric, I had followed your programming and it looks like I got the pi-star programmed but the hotspot does not see my radioddity gd-77 and I am not sure I programmed it right but when I key it does not show up. My dmr on the same radio works through the repeater. Any ideas?
Where do we go to find the page to enter the basic info needed to get the Jumbospot up and running? PiStar has many many pages to stumble through.
i have a question, for the frequency you added 446.500 is that going to be the frequency of the local dmr repeater thats near me that i use? or is this just a random frequency ? can i use 446.500 myself if it is just a random frequency?
Is there a setting in pi-star for cross mode? I cannot get my Anytone to receive audio.
I guess there was an earlier video that said what to connect to what (physical connection, that is); also another video said to flash an image, but it was a strange video with a computer voice. Where does that come in?
Eric. How do I getto the page that you have at thestart of this video? Is there a web page or address? How did you get to this point on your video?
