Meet my personal mobile hotspot. This is a zumspot hat on a Pi Zero W, running pi-star. With it, I have a 25000mAh battery to run mobile with. The case is a wooden effect and came from ML&S. For those not familiar with hotspots they can operate on DMR, Yaesu Fusion, D-Star, P25 and NXDN.
Thanks to the efforts of the North West Digital Group, GB7AM is set to hit the airwaves providing P25 across the North West. The repeaters details are as follow:Band: 2M(RV53) Output frequency: 145.6625 MHz RX Frequency: 145.0625 MHz Testing is currently in progress. It is believed a reflector for P25 hotspots may be made available. So even if you cannot get into

Every Friday morning, I have a 2 hour personal development period. While mostly it is learning new things to further my skillset, I also use it to review my toolsets and see if I can make my workflows etc faster and ultimately easier! At the weekend I attended WordCamp Edinburgh. On the Sunday I joined
I want to bring your attention to this commit: https://github.com/juribeparada/MMDVM_HS/commit/7020510f2ee945bcba8021b93912cb09bda2183dDue to issues over in the states with hotspots being used on frequencies intended for satellites, the developer has banned the use of the following frequency blocks. // Banned amateur frequency ranges (satellite only, ISS, etc) #define BAN1_MIN 145800000 #define BAN1_MAX 146000000 #define BAN2_MIN 435000000 #define BAN2_MAX
