  • DMR Troubleshooting Night

    February 12, 2025  6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
    51 S East St, Bellbrook, OH 45305, USA

    Tim N8NQH and I (Ray N8VMX) will be hosting a “DMR Troubleshooting Night” on Wednesday, February 12th at 6:30pm at the BARC Clubhouse.  I am not calling this a Tech Night because we are still having a February Tech Night later in the month (see Bob’s upcoming e-mail on that).

    The purpose of this DMR Troubleshooting Night is for anyone who is having problems with their code plug, firmware, or hotspot.  We can edit your code plug and upload an improved version into your radio. 

    Beforehand, Tim will be giving a DMR overview presentation (15-20 minutes or so) to acquaint us with the subject.  We may have some guests from Miamisburg who are in the midst of activating their own DMR repeater and need some familiarity with DMR.  After the presentation, we can dig into getting your code plugs in shape.

    Do me a big favor.  If you’re coming, please let me know in advance what radio or hot spot you’re bringing.  I have a lot of familiarity with all AnyTone radios and Raspberry Pi hotspots, so please let me know if you are bringing something else.  If you have your own laptop with the CPS and code plug loaded, please bring it.  We will have power for everyone. 

     

    Find your programming cable and bring it too.

     

    I hope to see you there, thanks for your interest in DMR!

     

    73,

    Ray

    Hands on Lab utilizing personal NanoVNA for Antenna testing and improvements.  Please bring your NanoVNA along. If you do not have a NanoVNA it will still be worth attending. Mike Suhar, W8RKO will be the lead for the event. We will need a few additional volunteers to assist members. I believe I have at least one person in addition to Mike.
