Would have been nice if the could have done All Star as well.
Just got my Sharkrf openspot 4 pro. Trying to get my ICOM IC-705 to do System Fusion and DMR.
Jason I've had my open spot 4 PRO for over a week and I love it
73👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve had mine for almost a month and use it daily. Very happy with it - changing cross mode settings right from the radio (i.e. without using a browser) is awesome. I agree the battery is only good for a few hours of real world usage (mostly listening with a few rag chews).
Is cross-mode the same as changing profiles? ... New OS4 Pro user. Tnx
@@robertreedholm3217 You can use profiles to change modes. However that isn’t necessary - i.e. you can change modes via commands without changing the profile. This is how I do it.
Thanks for the video, just received my OS4 pro yesterday.
I have a th d75 trying to use the BlueDv app with an android for reflector access due to no d star repeaters close. How do you use this without a computer.
I'm still waiting for SharkRF to add dual time slot and M17 capability. Nice to see more profiles, better battery life, and improved cross-mode audio in this unit though.
I've had an original OpenSpot (bought from Grapevine ;)) since 2016 and just ordered the OpenSpot 4 Pro from SharkRF, based on this video. The Halloween 2022 sale price knocks off $50.
P25 works well through the openspot4Pro. In Australia a common TG is 10700. Would like to see how to cross mode D-STAR to DMR.
Thanks for the video. My 4 pro should be here soon. Ordered it on Saturday.
Hope you enjoy it!
How do tou know if the thing is connected to the icon id 52a?
i tought i order one,
But with tax and sending its almost 400 euro's MY GOD!, are there soldering in the Hotspot4 pro from gold?. this are not amateur prices anymore.
How about a display and m17
Want to buy an openspot soon. Should I buy the pro version or reg openspot 4. Ty. 73s
up to you. look to see which features work best for you
I am unclear as to why you need the cross over? If you want d-star why not just use d-star? why cross over from dmr to d-star?
So that you can do all the modes without having to buy all the radios
@@HamRadio2I am wishing I had bought this rather than try to make one. It’s been a frustrating journey.
how do you configure for Dstar to ysf and or dmr??
Can you leave it plugged in to use charging without damaging the battery?
Yes
I think that sounds cool. Can ya use that with Amy noble radio?
Where in the USA can I order an Openspot 4 Pro?
Can't. They don't sell outside of their own website
Do you "need" the pro version? Or will the non-pro cover nearly all "normal" use cases?
I suspect the non-pro version is fine but I've never had one in my hands.
Hi nice video I would like to see that in Spanish so I can share with the rest of the guys please. Thank you.
I’ve just ordered one as they are doing “a spooky season” €50 discount,worth a punt 😊
cant register to the giveaway ...saying email cant be use
Will the openspot 2 still work?
Yes
Got it to work, by using a separate Android phone, initially that's what I have to use First, if I use the computer it's going to think it's getting the hotspot from a PC, so using a separate Android phone is the best way to program your hotspot for your open hot pot, then once you get it programmed initially connected to your Phone, then you can use your phone to do the rest, the Battery lasts only 10 Hours,
Mine has been connecting for 7 hours
Thank you for your intructions...got me on the air in very short order. Keep up the great work. Walt WB4ZUT
after a week it still will not connect to my Iphone
I do such things via ip and port instead of thing.local.
This is definitely too complicated for me. I'm going to need a technology tutor to have any hope of understanding this stuff.
Very very coo ! 😎
Um, I think your inline ad is a scam. A lot of the software mentioned is only available to "rent" and only purchasable directly from the publisher.
The idea that a 3rd party, with no company name, or website and only a phone number (with zero history) would be selling special versions of software like SolidWorks at 50% off is extremely unlikely.
It's a scam, and/or they are selling pirate software.
I second your accusation of selling piracy.
Mine doesn't even come close to 20hrs, let alone 30hrs.
@Mark Herman Agree, I just got mine and used it today, listen to a few tg's all day with a few conversations, nothing major. It lasted about 9-10 hours. which to me is good but they should have advertised that as much. Easy enough to plug it in but bad advertising for sure.
Nice............
No real reason to upgrade to the 4 Pro if you currently have a 3. A bigger battery, faster downloads, and extra profiles aren’t huge selling features, at least to me. Nothing truly new and nothing the 3 can’t do, which includes audio playback online.
Hi .. with the 3 can you use a d-star radio and crosslink to dmr, c4fm ?
There's 3 or 4 things not mentioned that the 4 pro has, like aprs messaging from the dashboard, playing audio through the computer, and such that are big jumps forward and are selling points.
cross talk video, yes please
Only has 802.11n max. A No go for me.
How fast do you need voice comms to go?
@@HamRadio2 it's not that.. all my wifi devicess are 802.11ac or ax only
@@N4BUT I'd be shocked if your 802.11ac router doesn't offer 2.4Ghz. It's still used by many current devices. And 802.11ax is backwards compatible...
Hate the stupid commercials! Stop that nonsense!
Sorry you feel that way
me too I thought I had changed videos so i clicked off and restarted the video.
Very helpful and interesting. Thank you. VY2MJ.
Glad it was helpful!
Can you set it up, just using a phone and no other wifi or computer?
Vy73 HB3XBL
the SharkRF app on your phone - yes.
Nice review. Interesting product.
A new HAM Toy. !!!!!!!
