TONIGHT'S DMR NET
Robert
ANOTHER GREAT NET
N9PUZ TIM NK80 CHARLES N0MII JEFF K0WDO WILL KV6Z BILL AB0AH LARRY W2NDG NEAL N8DAH DAVE W0MFQ TOM K7EK RODNEY Tonight's topic was " what radio kits or accessories would you like the 4SQRP group to design and kit" There where multiple requests for a 5 watt 2 meter cw transceiver, multiple requests for a plug and play digital transceiver. Other suggestions a tube type transmitter and receiver, a high quality code practice oscillator, a crystal radio, an antenna and tuner package that was very portable,a 6 meter cw transceiver, to bring back the HF test kit, an 80 and 30 meter hill topper variant, and last and probably least a 60 meter cw rig. Thanks again to all the check ins and suggestions 73's N0YJ Bert

Re: [DigitalFM] TONIGHT'S DMR NET
Tim McDonough N9PUZ
During this evening's net and in previous nets there are occasionally transmissions which get "cut off" and the operator is still talking. I think two things may help with this:
1) Whether you are using a hot spot or a repeater, YOUR RADIO also has a time out timer. On my Tytera MD-380 the default value was 1 minute. It is easy to talk longer than that. I bumped my timeout timer up to 6 minutes to eliminate that problem. 2) Don't kerchunk your hotspot or repeater while someone else is transmitting. This seems to really confuse the system. It's exciting to see the net growing! 73, Tim N9PUZ

Re: TONIGHT'S DMR NET
Nice Net guys! Sorry I missed it. I worked late but also lost most of my voice to a fall head cold. My XYL thinks this might be a good thing!! I will pass the kit ideas on to the kit think thank and see where they go. The 2 meter CW Rig sounds like fun, No doubt it would be unique! 72 Johnny AC0BQ

Re: TONIGHT'S DMR NET
Don, W9EBK
Sorry I didn't missed the DMR net, but haven't yet added that mode to the shack. If the 2 meter CW idea gets traction I will suggest it also have AM, and preferably a built in memory keyer (arduino or similar) that will allow for modulated CW as well as true CW. That may sound like a strange request, but AM modulated CW is the approved mode for international Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF). Lack of cheap transmitters has been a big stumbling block to expanding the sport in the US. Thanks for the consideration, Don, W9EBK

Sorry I missed the net. I second the VHF cw transceivers and the digital transceiver. If I can only pick one, my vote is for the 2 meter cw rig.
ill try to make next week’s net Tate N3BXZ

Re: TONIGHT'S DMR NET
Good Evening Group I forwarded your kit ideas to the clubs think tank and got a positive reply from one of our designers on the 2 meter cw rig. We will see how it plays out. 73 Johnny AC0BQ

QRP kits at Universal Radio
Tom Sevart
Universal Radio currently has several QRP kits for sale in their used list, including a 4SQRP HF test set, Magic box, NS-40, SAVXO kit, and a couple of SS-40 receivers. Also some G-QRP kits. The 4SQRP kits have pretty good prices, and I don't think those are available any more. I beleive they came from an estate sale. Website is universal-radio.com, click on the "used list" button.

4SQRP "On Air Activities" on web page
davemrtn
I don't know what the official status is of the Wednesday night DMR net, but is it time to add it to the list of Wednesday night on air activities with the info on participating in the net ? I just got my DMR radio going and hope to began to participate starting this coming Wed. I found what I needed to know
about the DMR group/net on groups.io, but I thought we might
want to make it easier for others, or at least to let others
know it exists. -- David Martin - NA1MH - Mountain Home, Ar. ----------------------------------------- Wherever I go, there He is. Recycle, Reuse, Re-purpose, Repair >Professional Sports - An activity for small minds< !! There is a reason it is called "Sports Trivia" !!

Re: DMR Group
Jeff Logullo N0̸MII
Color Codes are analogous to PL tones on an analog FM repeater.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
As such, the 4 States Talk group doesn’t have a color code per se. If you access the 4S TG via a repeater, your code plug channel should have the appropriate color code set so the repeater will recognize your transmission and let you in. Hotspots typically are set up to use CC1. Again, this let’s you access your hot spot. Nothing specific to the talk group(s).

DMR wednesday
Randy N0KQG add the groups DMR TG to the 1st position in the N0KQG repeater in St. Charles. It has about a 20-mile radius from the north side of St Charles. So anyone in st. charles or on the west side of st louis county should be able to log into the 4sqrp discussion on Wednesday evening. Stan AK0B

Re: DMR Group
Mike Heitmann
Hi Jim, Color Codes and Time Slots are set by the repeater or hotspot owner, so we need a little more information: Are you trying to get in via a personal hotspot, or through a local repeater? The ZumSpot hotspots running Pi-Star are set to use Color Code 1, Timeslot 2 by default. Most people don't change that. For repeaters, it depends on how the repeater owner set it up. Mike, N0SO
