RATS - I'd have been happy to swap the cheap Chinese JumboSpot RIP-OFF I seem to have for one of yours Eric. Ohh well..... #Sigh
I can't thank you enough for this video. I picked up a JumboSpot on Amazon and followed your setup video and was on air right away. The setup was so easy to follow and I've been having a great time with it. I don't have a DSTAR repeater close enough to me to hit so this is awesome! Thank's again!
Gotta Say Eric, I so appreciate your tireless devotion to the hobby! Because of you, Josh, the other Josh, and Bob, I dove right in, bought myself a JumboSpot and an Anytone AT878 Plus, set everything up (building a code plug and all) and started working contacts all over the place. It was simple and easy, and that was because of all your hard work. I really appreciate it!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks! I just set up a generic D-Star hotspot by following your instructions. It worked very well. Within a little while I was talking to hams in Korea, Ireland, and England from NYC. Great Job!
Thank you so much for this video. I don’t have DStar repeaters close and just ordered and got my jumbo spot in and it’s fantastic.
OMG! This video is a God-send. I have been searching the net of videos on the JumboSpot and almost bought one from China two days ago. I want one!
Thanks Eric, these instructions were very helpful to me to get my JumboSpot up and running quickly.
Thanks for a really great video. The info was layed out clearly and explained well. This helped me get my hotspot going quick and easy. I was listening to a net on dmr and making contacts right away.
Received my jumbo spot today. Straight forward setup thanks to your video. Thanks Eric. 73 de MI0HOZ.
Wow what a crystal clear explanation. I'm just getting into this bought a DMR radio and just ordered a hotspot , I'm sort of lost I bought a
Antenna + Al Case + OLED+ MMDVM hotspot Support P25 DMR YSF for raspberry pi . I already have a raspberry pi so I'm sure if the one I bought will have to fit on top of it
good video. I haven't even got my radio in the mail yet and just ordered a hot spot because of your video. I have more confidence that I will get the hot spot programed before the radio.
I'm sure that this video was a great help for folks who are already familiar to setting up hot spots. Myself just a newbe , I'm left standing on the ground while your at 20,000 ft.. The links that you suggested cam up blanks. Thanks anyway and 73, Doug
Thanks, helpful video - helped me get my hotspot working in about 10 minutes!!
Excellent Tutorial. Thank You. It motivated me to order such device on ebay.
Thank you! This video really helped me. My Radiodity Hot spot is up and running!!!!
Great video. I really enjoyed watching this.
thank you for all your videos...bought mine today:)
Just bought one! you mentioned some interesting point, thanks
excellent video...this made it easy to setup with my FT-70 THANKS
Thanks, I am ready to build one of these and this will be helpful. Ken
Good video on this hotspot and how it is setup
Thank you so much for this video!
Excellent. I'm looking for as many options as possible to enjoy Ham radio. Thanks
I wanted to thank you so much, You really helped me setup & get things going without feeling like a idiot! Very well done and look forward to watching other video's you do. 73 & Aloha, WH6FVC.
Outstanding video. Thanks
Oh, just a "no biggy" comment here but if you click "apply changes" other than at the very bottom of the dialog box whose content you just changed, the changes will still take affect. Great videos!
Awesome video!!! Thanks again sir!!
thank you for this informative video
Great video - many thanks
Thanks mate, you are a champion! 73, VK3HMV.
A very informative video.
Thanks AGAIN FOR SUCH A THOUGOUGH VIDEO
I know this video is a few years old but it just solved all of my problems. Thank you! KE4CMP
Does this pick up stuff that would require paid upgrades on a uniden scanner?
I just set my Raspberry Pi up from scratch yesterday to run Pi-Star, it is not that difficult, did find an issue with WiFi running WEP (I have an old media player in the house). Using WPA was far easier. Today another Raspberry Pi arrived in the post and that took very little time to set up. I only found your video subsequent to setting mine up but it is nevertheless helpful.
Everything on mine is working great! I was wondering how can I set this to DFW Metro only?
I have found lots on TH-cam about the Jumbo spot end of this and definitely helped to get it working ... little on the RADIO side of things and how to set up there. I know that the RADIO settings for DStar using the Jumbo spot are different than for the DV Mega - offset and call routing entries - How should the DMR units be set up... as simple as the freq and color code or other subtle settings required.
I wonder if you still have some of this device. Thank you!
Nice one Eric. You have a great presentational skill that gets the info across nice and easy (IMO).
Have just bought one and got it running after a couple of days. I had an issue with the pre-programmed sd card so that the device would not boot.
Solved by downloading an image from pi-star (I chose the latest generic version - v4 beta RC2), clearing the card and creating a new logical partition using EaseUS Partition Master (free), flashed the card using Etcher (free) and shazaam!
best regards,
Bob

Hi Eric, excellent video. A real education. One quick question please... In adjusting the BER settings... does one adjust both the TX and RX settings together when making any change? Thanks in advance. Wm.
Thanks for the video. It helped me to get onto my Jumbo spot. The only thing missing was that you had your dashboard on Pi-Star already set up and did not go over signing on to Pi-Star with the user name pi-star and the password raspberry. I was gong nuts trying to get to the pi-star page you were on in the video. I found the missing piece in another video. Otherwise an awesome video.
Very Good Tutorial
Check out the Nextion Screens, you can make this little thing work very well. I have this same one for my car with a usb battery and another large one with a rpi 3 and the nextion screen. Dont forget to set the offset, It drove me crazy when I could not connect then I saw the sticker with a 500mhz offset. Great video! 73,s
just purchased one so will see how it works when I get it.....i can use my cell phone hotspot to get internet to it right?
I want to use mobile
Any chance on getting more in? Or let me know the best place to purchase one? Thanks. N4JPG
Jumbospots are great hotspots!
My Jumbospot got two weeks ago requires TX/RXoffset 500 (not negative like yours), and P25=offset+500. Is it correct figure ?
But if you set the hotspot from private to public, will it need additional settings in there?
silly question, does one need to have a dmr id to use a hotspot for fusion only ?
Yet another one Eric Great work, buying two, one for the shack one for the car Keep it up mate Pete VK3TQ
Am I able to setup the MMDVM on a raspberry pi ver. 3.0? as I already have one ?
This is a good starter video to show what this unit can and can't do. I will be putting mine together in my own little package. I'm going to leave out the display and probably add a battery. I was fiddling with the idea of giving it a modem as well. It would be interesting to slap a SIM card in and go. There are lot's of possibilities with such a modular system. Already owning the RPI the total cost of ownership is pretty low. It's too bad it can't cross encode like the big boys can.
Hey Eric will this video apply to the DVMEGA as well
This seems like a hotspot for me. This model is also 2m compatible right? So I would need to use 2m band antenna, or dual band. 70cm DMR band creates interference with my PC speakers. Is the frequency entered in the hotspot an analogue or digital frequency? I guess digi, but want to make sure I do not disturb locals if it's in FM. Thnx.
My DMR section was very short on the firmware in the one I bought. I did an update to it, and that didn't change anything. The one thing was the +DMR section was missing. I'm not sure why since there is not reason for it to be different. Just looked ta your dashboard and compared it to mine, mine says this Pi-Star:3.4.13 / Dashboard: 20180523, Yours says 3.4.12, Dashboard 20180502. So, newer Dashboard.
Can you use the Hot spot in full duplex, I have a Raspberry Pi and have two radios One for receive and the other for transmit. Can U set up my DMR to work as full duplex on this new device you've shown?
good video, Bro
do you have to take the sd card out and program it first.
You're not selling them on Amazon are you? I just ordered one Prime $105.
Good presentation in the time slot avaiable. I am new to ho spots - cruis'n for info.
HOw does this compare to the Openspot 2?
I just ordered the OpenSpot 2 but this is almost half the price, so was curious about the difference/compare?
I would love one
Are you able to access the talk rooms on system fusion with this hotspot?
do you run dstar dmr and fusion all on the same ferq at the same time?
I got mine today, came in an anti-static bag with a website url that gives me a page cannot be displayed and no instructions
Really good business!
So question ... if I join using my P25 Motorola's, can I then partake in the DMR talkgroups or is each mode totally independant in mode AND network/tg to each other?
In regards to the talkgroups, is the talkgroup selected and locked by the the mmdvm or is it able to change tg's like dmr or p25 trunking? Where or what sets that talkgroup?
What's the chances of getting 2 of these on the same frequency running at the same time on different time slots for different talkgroups?
We've only just been permitted at my level to play in digital and it's about time I branch out from P25 commercial.
does it work on VHF ? i have a hytera VHF DMR. I'm a fan! more videos.
Can you use this for there VHF band?
Anyone else notice at the end of a transmission on YSF Fusion, the audio level will spike? I have noticed it a lot in the Americas Link room.
Question: I have a Jumbospot on order and is now in the country and on its way. I already have a GD-77 I will use with it. Something I am unsure of is when I want to join a talk group do I just go to the channel on my radio where I have programmed in the frequency of my jumbospot and a talk group and just for a split second key up? Even though I have had the radio about a year I have never used it in DMR because I live in a deep, narrow valley where my signals can't reach any local repeaters, so the hotspot is my only option. I just want to learn how to work it before it gets here so I can roll with it as soon as it shows up.
My MMDVM Pi-Star arrives tomorrow. I can't seem to find any videos on anyone using this with P25 radios. Is the only way to manage talkgroups via the web interface if I want to use a P25 radio?
Do you have an updated version of the hotspot to buy?
Do you have any idea why a mmdvm pi-star raspberry zero have no tx and rx?
Thanks for the video. I've been looking at these and other hotspots. I'm still new to all of this. If the device loses power, does it corrupt the OS or do you have to do a power down before unplugging it from a power source? Is there anyway to have multiple SSIDs like if you wanted to use it at home and work or would you have to change the config or maybe easier to have two sd cards, one for home config and one for work config...
It is set to read only so it does not corrupt. And you can have multiple config for wifi on same unit. Switches networks automatically.
Thanks...Do you do the multiple SSIDs through the dashboard or edit the conf file on a PC? I may wind up picking one of these things up. Still researching. Are you selling the others through a website store front? Good to hear you don't have to worry about it corrupting although I'd image the card after getting it set up completely just in case.
What do you mean when you say "If the device loses power" Dapper ?? Are you talking about an event where there might be a power outage at home or if the battery (Which is what I assume powers the thing when not plugged in) runs out of juice ?? #Confused
Already been answered for me Pat. I was asking if the JumboSpot itself lost power either AC or using a battery pack would you risk the SD card corrupting. It's read only so it's not a problem.
Thanks!
Do you have anymore available for purchase?
how do i get into fusion without having a fusion radio? i wana use a rpi and have no experience any ideas?
Can this hotspot listening to Public Safety frequency? Like NXDN and P25.
What confuses me most about digital is which format makes the most sense- this video is informative, but it's now about 2yrs old. Have you done an update to this world of digital lately? Thanks!
Will this connect up to a iphone for internet?
Ordered one of your jumbo spot on ebay
it comes fully assembled but it's not plug and play. I'm unsure on your video whether I have to connect the jumbo spot to my PC and program it that way. I don't have a PC with internet connection I only have a Wi-Fi and a tablet at my home. Will I be able to configure this with that.
I did download the pi star app on Android.
Sorry for dumb question, can I use my FT3D with this to connect to TGIF network on DMR?
should there be something on my sd card when I start? I just got a new unit and my pc wants to format the card.
do not format it! look, in your PC explorer, there should be 2 partitions, one says boot, one wants you to format. You want to drop the wifi config file in the "boot" partition, just click cancel on format
I just ordered one I have a zumspot elite 3.5. I just wanted other one to play with. I use fusion. I may have both set up and run two nodes. All I have to to do is change frequency.
Can I change reflectors with this?
Can you set this up to run off a router so no PC would be needed?
How can I Avail of that, I'm from the Philippines.Ty
435.5 is in the middle of the AMSAT uplink band for satellites. I was hearing a ton of noise one this morning and realized that the INTERFERANCE was these hotspots. Could you please go above 436?
where do you recommend the frequency be at?
@@JosephTrezza Best to use the range between 445-447mhz. Those are simplex frequencies. Stay away from 446.000 though because that is the calling frequency.
Best to check the bandplan for your country, here in the UK one of our allocated frequency for hotspots is 434.000MHz
I'm very new so this may be a very stupid question but could you plug in a outdoor antenna and let others transmit through it. Would that even work
QUICK QUESTION Eric - Since the Hotspot requires a formatted SD Card, wouldn't a typical Android smartphone be able to do what an SD Card Reader can do IF you delete any files & folders that Android puts on there ??
If so, I've got PLENTY of OLD SMARTPHONES !! :)
Could. you use it. listing only without a radio like police scanner
Just viewed this video, will set my hotspot as per instruction, awaiting delivery, let you know how things go. Will see if their is a Fusion specific one as well. that's my mode. 73's all
it wasn't nearly this easy for me. Im having issues getting mine to power on all the way. When i first got it out of the box this morning, I plugged it into my computer to power on... in about 2-3 minutes the device turned on and seem to be working fine. I found it on my computers list of available wifi list, i think i got it all set up with the pistar website. Then I unplugged it to move it closer to my radio and now it one power back on all the way. I tried unplugging it, plugging it back in and waiting, and i tried using the other port that also powers it.. with no luck.
I can see the green light and red blinking light, so it's getting power but it wont turn on all the way. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I didn't realize how big of a pain this would be just to use d-star.
I recently have a simplex Jumbo spot. I wanted to know these two things:
1) If calibration is required, for lower BER, to work with Wires-X Fusion
2) If calibration is required to work the DMR in Wires-X
I use, Yaesu ft-2d.
Thanks in advance for your help and any other information. '73!
Do you still have some in stock
Thanks for this nice video. I have set up mine hotspot, and it works excellent... but the scrolling MMDVM is not running? Any ideas why not? Appreciate any logical reply.
Did you get a response?
Can this talk simplex to a repeater, or it must work through the internet?
Does this work with anytone
I have the Anytone 878 ht and the MMDVM hotspot. I followed the procedure in this video to setup the hotspot(pi-star).
Also could not determine the TX/RX offsets. Documentation is very poor so I'm using 0/0 for offsets. The problem is
that there is no gateway activity shown in the pi-star dashboard or local rf activity. Any ideas on what I might check first?
The radio was programmed with a codeplug designed for my state(TN) which I got from the Bridgecom website.
Thanks

Also noticed that the left side of the dashboard on Eric's video shows Trx = Listening mine is blank. Also his dashboard shows
TG31123 and mine says "No TG/No Ref"
