    Thank you. I am new to DMR. This is the best set of instructions I have seen

    You did a fantastic job, Jim, of making this understandable for those who struggle with DMR. This will certainly help many people; nice contribution to the ham community!

    This is the easiest description of how to create a DMR codeplug I have seen yet. It is easy to understand they way you break it down and explain the basics. I have heard of so many horror stories about trying to program DMR radios. I wasn't going to get a DMR radio before this video but seeing how easy it can be I will most likely get one now. Thanks for the great info. 73's KC6RDF

    Thanks Jim. Your explanation makes it easy for me to understand. I gave up on my HD1 code plug because of the perceived complexity. Now I will be going back to it and should get it onto DMR
    after watching your video. You have been very helpful to an old bloke. 73 Cam VK4FL

    This is a great and possibly the only way to do it for the GD88 by radioddity. With anyone's or the alinco you can change TGs from the menu. But I love the zone thing as let's say I wanted to spy on the local hospitals security team or the mental wards ops team.. they have several freqs and TGs so just keeps organized

      Hey Rusty, yeah it's kind of a hit or miss thing. I think most current DMR radios don't need recieve groups, but I've just gotten where I create a 1-to-1 match with the digital contacts whenever I program any DMR radio. Extra step, but eliminates the question. Thanks for watching!

    Great video. Alot of the brandmeister tgs say 10 min limit. I don’t recall seeing that years ago. Are tgs limiting each users use of the tg to a 10min qso?
    Also, what are tac channels? Are they used like simplex only in digital form so you don’t tie up an entire state or region with a qso?

    • @FEPLabsRadio
      @FEPLabsRadio  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The time limit thing is usually more for repeaters that are linked to Brandmeister. Of course, be aware that every QSO ties up the TG that it's linked to (be it repeater or hotspot). I suspect it's more of a courtesy/repeater management thing than anything else.
      Every DMR radio I've seen lets you disable the TOT completely. However, a lot of repeater owners do impose TG that you can link to, as well as timers.

  • @seanfichera
    @seanfichera 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So for a private call how is the connection made through a repeater or hotspot? If you are calling Steve does he have to be on the same talk group you are on or just anywhere on the same network?

    • @FEPLabsRadio
      @FEPLabsRadio  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, - you still need an active DMR-Internet connection somewhere (at both ends). So, if you're on your hotspot, and I know your radio ID, I can direct call you, as long as I'm connected to something on my side (repeater or hotspot) that's on the same network (BM, TGIF, etc). Doesn't matter what TG you might be in. Of course, if you're keyed down, I won't be able to get thru.

      Tommy, low power is all you need to hit the hotspot in the house.

    Receive Groups has always been a function I can't stand because it's like a scan function you can't turn off; but that's just me.
