DMR Brandmeister Hotspot Password will be Required!

ATTN – DMR users that use a Hotspot –

From Corey Dean, who is in charge of the DMR Master servers for the US:

Due to issues that have been happening recently, we are going to need to start requiring users to set a hotspot security password to gain access to the US Masters. If you already have a hotspot security password set on the bm portal, you can ignore this post.

We are going to start requiring this on master 3101 November 30th, 3102 will follow on December 4th, and 3103 on December 11th. This is already implemented on the RU masters, and other Master servers will follow.

At this time this will just be for hotspots. The API is being worked on to allow repeater owners to make this change as well, but it is not quite ready to go yet.

DMR and My Hotspot

I have had my HD1 DMR radio for a couple of weeks now and the hotspot for about a week. After spending somw time fine tuning the hotspot BER%, I am pretty happy.

DMR has opened a new window, and access that I couldn’t get with AllStar. Not being reliant on a repeater for access at home is pretty cool too.

I will be updating my ham pages and adding more detail to the DMR and local repeater pages as well. I’ll also will be adding a page for the MMDVM hotspot, with the history and details on how I set mine up.

Now Active on DMR!

I am now active on DMR. I am currently using VE3OBI, till my hotspot is delivered. Pending any programming issues. 🙂 This is all new for me, so it will be interesting.

I’ll be recreating my DMR Network page with new information on the radios/HT’s and MMDVM hotspots.

It has a spot here.
