    Thanks for the video Jason. It's nice to have a good decent price hotspot out there.

    I switched both my hotspots to WPSD a few months ago and haven't looked back. I think it is a lot more coinvent than pi-star with all the extra settings.

    Wow, this is crazy, I never expected to sellout instantly. Thank you Jason for this amazing video and thank you guys for a instant sellout, I will use my profits to get on HF and to expand my amateur radio journey. And for anyone wondering I am now accepting preorders.

    Got a question Jason I'm thinking about getting a DMR mobile will I need a hotspot to run it in my car I am still learning about DMR and I'm still learning about Ham Radio too since I got my first license in 2022 I've always wanted to have amateur license since I bought my first CB license just before the last year they throw them in the garbage in the 70s. 73 K4BWN

    pardon me for being a little cynical here, but all it looks like is a reskinned version of pi-star with some features added to it, as far as it goes I like that it displays the room name, probably does the same for BM.TGIF talkgroups, but if my current hardware, but it looks to me like a dual band hat with a raspberry pi single board with some paint thrown on pi-star for the most part

    I got a duplex hotspot, DSTAR it's great I can disconnect from a busy reflector. I was hoping on DMR I could do the same thing. Nope just let's me listen to two talk groups at the same time. Kinda pointless on DMR

    • @HamRadio2

      Wrong. DMR allows you to listen to 2 TGs like a repeater does

      ​@@HamRadio2 : Refering specifically to WPSD. WPSD is "PI-STAR ", it's simply a different GUI. As you may already my aware, you have many different types of STM32 hotspot boards. In my case I use the STS32 MMDVM repeater controller board by Repeater Builder. My hotspot is essentially a repeater controller running PI-STAR. I tried WPSD, and it works, however though "FM" mode does technically work, the new GUI in WPSD does not recognize it nor indicates anything "FM" on the DASHBOARD and when using a Nextion screen. It's like it does not excist, but the configuration settings for "FM" are there, just like in PI-STAR.

    • @f00masterFlex
      @f00masterFlex 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      WPSD is most definitely not PiStar, and is not “just different a gui.” It’s a completely different distribution, and has full FM support. Learn more about it/use it/contribute to it before you spout gross misinformation.
