Finally figured it out, this video and the dmr 101 were so helpful. I really appreciate the videos, so many of the other dmr videos are about systems outside of Texas. Thanks
You comment that you don't know why they came up with the "hoseline"-name for the service. It is because "brandmeister" means (direct translation) fire master, or as in america, fire chief. And behold, hoseline starts to sound quite logical :)
Nice Job. I am still waiting to see C-bridge or Brandmeister be able to pass traffic to and from dstar, and wires x systems. I know some ham out there can get that figured out.
Brandmeister TG's can and do connect to XLX reflectors which have the ability to also connect via DSTAR allowing both to talk to one another. wires X couldn't be included natively as yeasu have decided to only allow it's hardware to connect to its network, however it is possible to bridge both using a wires box. BM does talk nativly with YSF ( the opensorce alternative to wires X ) which allows fusion users to talk with DMR users. so generally yes, BM does already do as you ask.
We have a couple WIRESx TGs passed to the cbridge here and Brandmeister has some also. Dstar is a bit more tricky but there are lots of those connections also. This is done fairly regularly
What I meant was say you were on DMR and wanted to connect to the Americas link or LA repeater group on WiresX. Or vis versa without going through a raspberry pie or open spot. Using a repeater
Yes, that's what we have. You can hop around to different rooms, but are have a talkgroup lined to the Texas Nexus room full time, so if you're repeater had access to that talkgroup, then you'd be able to do that
Thanks for making this video. Short and sweet. Right to the point on comparisons. Only question I have is, will a registration number assigned and created on Radio ID. Net for a individual work on the Brandmeister net. Or do you need to have a registration number created or assigned from Brandmeister to work on a Brandmeister net work for an individual?
So Jason let me understand this. DMR C-Bridge is where DMR Marc came from? C-Bridge is the parent company that owns DMR Marc? And then Brandmeister (sounds German) is a whole new thing? I found out that these Raspberry PI hotspots ONLY work with Brandmeister and not C-Bridge if I understand this correctly. Something you don’t here to many people talking about.
Thanks for the comment, James. You know that phrase in the latest Star Wars movie where Luke says, "Wow...everything you just said is wrong" Well....LOL I don't mean any disrespect, I just thought that was funny ;) - A CBridge is software, that is all. It routes talkgroups/other cbridges/connections together. - DMR-MARC was the first cbridge in the USA for Amateur Radio, but there are lots of others nowadays. People hear cbridge and they think that DMR-MARC owns all of the cbridges, but this is incorrect. Any person or company can purchase/run/own a cbridge. - Brandmeister is newer than the cbridge solution, and if you want to connect a repeater to their Master Servers (this basically does the same thing as a cbridge) then you have to use their servers. You cannot purchase and run your own. - Yes, you can connect a hotspot/RPi/MMDVM device to a cbridge. This hasn't always been true, but it is now, thanks to the HBLink/DMRLink software maintained by the DV-Switch folks. Let me know if that makes sense.
Jason we need your advise Cliff (KG5REN) wants to put up a DMR repeater in Bullverde TX But we are struggling which direction to go. C-Bridge or Branmiester. Thanks
Is it possible to make a very basic server, single talkgroup letting a few hams talk to each other using their MMDVM hotspots. Something that could be installed on a laptop or raspberry pi connected to the internet with MMDVM hotspots configured to talk through this program running on the windows laptop or raspberry pi ? Real basic for a quick portable setup.
@@HamRadio2 I did look at HBlink but it was a bit to involved for me at this time. It looks like a full blown server. I would like to see a video of a install and operation of that.
It isn't a full-blown server, it is cut down quite a bit from a CBridge. But yes, if you aren't familiar with Linux, it can be complicated to setup. I am working on a video for these pieces of software too.
@@HamRadio2 Well you come up with a video showing how to make a mini server for mmdvm hotspots and that could get me to hit the Subscribe button, hi hi... Ken
With all this internet connectivity, “when all else fails”, ham radio fails as well. Also, it’s all so fragmented, no one will find anyone. I’m wrong a lot so take it for what it’s worth. Ham radio isn’t growing, so why make it even more complex?
1. DMR radios work in Simplex mode without the need for internet connectivity. The internet expands it's capabilities but it isn't required. 2. Ham Radio IS growing. Read some statistics. 3. Complexity comes with all new technology and we, as Hams, should be at the forefront of technology like this
Ham Radio 2.0 - Good answer! I will probably get a dmr. I went ahead and got the radioid. Someone has to give you a hard time once in awhile. Are they backwards compatible for fusion and Dstar? My shack is getting kind of crowded. hi hi
good job jason ,thank you for showing what DMR NET WORKS ARE ABOUT . ON THIS DAY of 10-01-2018..GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER IN CHRIST JESUS.

1 ID from RadioID.net will work for ALL Amateur Radio DMR Networks
Thanks for your help
My question is this. If power goes down or data services goes down are these radios useless
Nice presentation thank you! Really enjoy your channel!
Thanks for watching.

Ham Radio 2.0 Way too much false positives out their or truth negatives on this DMR thingy.
Well when Ford came out with the model T then General Motors came out with their brand then Dodge.
Ham Radio 2.0 I don’t think the DXMINI works with C-Bridge only Branmiester

That is one of the things on my schedule.
this is exactly what i was looking for. thanks jason!

Hams dislike Home Owner Associations; but let them become a repeater trustee and, well most become what they dislike.
That dude in front is passe the f out lol!!
fuc facebook lol..
Dont you know how to speak slowly ?Cant get what yu're saying.
You're the only one who's commented that way
