So now that I’ve pretty much got comfortable with setup, I noticed that above connect, it shows your node, name, and location. Did you set that part up off camera ? I followed everything step by step and that wasn’t in the tutorial. My node is in the system but that’s not showing on mine. Great video, also watched the one where you and HRD did, that’s the one that made it sink in my thick brain😂 got the bulk, now I need fine tuning.
I tried GMRSlive a while back and really found it to be dead air for the most part. I did try a couple of nets and found the net controls were border line hostile. Was I just in the wrong places and do we have an Oklahoma branch that is active? I actually have another Shari sitting collecting dust so I am open to doing this but wanted your input on the deal before jumping back in .
I have a question? about gmrs live? Want I want to know is can I use a Pi star for GMRS live? i'm using it as a Hotspot for DMR if I wanted to use it for GMRS I would just reformat it is that correct?
Hi thank you for the video it is very informative, I have a NODE that it was working perfect till one day I could not connect to other nodes or others connect to my NODE...I have been asking so many people how to fix it, one said one thing other said something different. Do I need to erase this and star from scratch? I`m very slow with computer but I can fallow direction
It’s actually in the works. But I have several AllStar link video that are very similar, if you to watch in the means time. th-cam.com/play/PLNB-eG3m6y5g9Vxq7dkwA8ewmKF6u9A6d.html&si=aMO8LcpNF60gARdY
I have a question: I am trying to hook up a second node. I am going to use it in my car with WiFi. I set the second node up on the same network as my first. But the second node will not transmit, but it identifies. I see that you changed your bind port. Where did you get that other port. I am wondering if that is my problem.
@@anthonyscialabba541 The iax bind port is mainly to allow incoming connections. It wouldn’t prevent the node from transmitting. So give me some information. What kind of node are we talking about? SHARI? Modified HT? Mobile Radio? What sound card interface are you using?
@@HamRadioCrusader I am using a Raspberry Pi4 with a Aursinc RF Node. I already set up one node on my home network using the same setup. I can get my second node to connect to other groups while on the home network but it does not transmit. When I take the second node out to the car it registers on GMRS Live registry and identifies. But, again does not transmit. When I try to connect the 2 nodes whether it be 1 to 2 or 2 to 1 connections fails. I can't even use the DTMF codes to connect.
Great Video as always my only problem is my open ports is not working when trying to talk direct to another node... In router settings when port forwarding I have External and internal for port.. I put default (4569) for both and doesn't work anything im doing wrong pls help??? I'm able to connect to gmrslive server's (all of them ) only when I try to connect directly to someone else it don't work.. headache.. any info will be much appreciated
Ummmmmm most of this is with the assumption that you are familiar with your own network. If you have a windows machine. In this video link if you look carefully you will also see your default gateway using this method. th-cam.com/video/oVHIQ-jqCho/w-d-xo.html
I usually just run DHCP and the pi will configure all of that. If you run dhcp the first time, you can go into a bash shell and run ifconfig and it will tell you all of your network parameters. Then you can use that info to setup static IP with the IP you desire.
I have a SA818 radio hat on my pi3 for GMRS and wanted to know how to get in on GMRS Freqs, because right now it is on Ham Radio Frequencies, and I want to move it to GMRS Freq.
@@HamRadioCrusader Oh Bummer, I just got mine today and it will not go to 452 MHz. I hate that these things happen and only made to go in the ham bands only and no more My cheap device I bought from China the SA818 radio goes all over the UHF band, but I don't like the sound of it when in operation, it sounds too tinny and no base. I have seen the hack for these devices and the download of the item to place in the folder of the but no instructions on how to do it
I followed this step by step, then at the end you went to the supermon 6.2 screen which I can’t figure out how to get. Is that just for an apple pc or windows? I’m stuck at the admin menu list on my pi not knowing what to do next😳
is there any way to change the call sign announcement from voice to cw? I picked voice in the initial setup but I want to change it to CW. can I do that without having to do a fresh install?
@@HamRadioCrusader did you have any luck? all I could find was how to disable the announcement and not the way to swap from voice to cw callsign announcement
ive been trying and trying to get this node on 462.550 up and running without the radio hooked to it and my Pi can see the wireless lan i have but not the wired secure lan part. my cord might be holy or something cuz i've seen where the kitty had been trying to chew on it...
Can anyone tell me why when my node announces the weather it thinks I’m in Texas, I live in NY. I’ve set my zip code in supermon, which shows my local weather, but still announces the Texas weather ?
Go into crontab by using the command crontab -e and look at the zip code on the longest line and set it for the weather announcement. Reference this video. th-cam.com/video/4Cd8zW74Tfs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_2yuCO8etNsejgkw
My Dual hat hotspot with my Raspberry Pi 3 will transmit on 467.550 and will receive 462.550 so it will transmit and receive on gmrs freqs and now all i have do is apply for the node numbers and and write the image on the sd card and replace the pi-star sd card with the new SD card..
Question if anyone can answer I’d appreciate. Did we figure out if the sas818 works on Gmrs ? It says on the website it goes up to 450mhz. Second question, I’d rather go with the R4 Allstar box due to it being Wi-Fi. Is the sas818 pretty much the same thing 🤔
@@jwatkins320 Yes, they offer the download but no real guidance on how to get it into the system and then add the higher frequencies you need. I want my node to transmit 452.000 MHz
The kit from projects for hams DOES not support the gmrs frequencys. The hams made sure to lock them out. That file is more for the Chinese shary and other radio pi hats on the market.
If the kit is running the SA818 chipset, GMRS Live offers a program on their download site that may work to program it. I haven't done this myself so please confirm if you try it.
I have a simple question, how can they call it GMRS Live...... they don't use any GMRS frequencies, so how can they claim this is GMRS? GMRS according to the FCC is a simplex or repeater based 1-25 mile range not connected to any network, specially the internet, so why call it GMRSLive when is all based on Allstar and VOIP. thanks...
@@HamRadioCrusader I don't need to, the FCC has already contact them.... and several others HUBS like The Roadkill... Just a matter of time that they will have to change their name. Not allowed to connect any Radio or Repeater that communicates on 462-467 MHz to any network. Might as well call it Gay Men Radio Service.... just a joke that's going round... LOL
Well, now I am going to have to do this as well. Always something cool to do. I have my GMRS license, but I have never done much. maybe this will be the kick start. 73 KN4VA - WRVP747

Thank You for the kind words.

Good tutorial.
All of the registration and linking is done on our own servers.
I thought I replied to this a long time ago. My apologies. Thank You Very Much for commenting. I am LOVING GMRSlive a lot! Thank You!
What equipment do you need to set up a node other then a RPi or is it just like a hotspot/Allstar node?
Exactly like an AllStar node. Just tune the radio to a GMRS Frequency
I have a question? about gmrs live? Want I want to know is can I use a Pi star for GMRS live? i'm using it as a Hotspot for DMR if I wanted to use it for GMRS I would just reformat it is that correct?
@@russellf38 No, to my knowledge there is not an analog version of Pi-Star. You may want to look into a Clear Node that does both.
I'll wait for the radio video.
Coming Soon!
