I love you, man. You saved a LOT of headscratching for me. Great stuff. Connecting to YSF was a breeze. DMR is a different animal.
Excellent. Being new to Pi-Star and DMR, this was very useful to get me up and running.
I have to say I've been working on this for a few months and even replaced my Raspberry Pi Zero w card thinking I broke it. After watching this video, I'm back on the air! So grateful, am subscribed and looking forward to learning more from you.
Great info, worked perfectly. Reset, cleaned out messed up values, and got it working in under 7 minutes. Thanks!
I'm new to DMR and digital. This was a LifeSaver video as far as I'm concerned. Watched another one from someone else, he left out SOOOOO much stuff it's almost unbelievable. Great job. Thanks for the Help!
There’s a reason you have100k+ subscribers. Clearest help I found on setting up my DMR ZUMspot. Thank you!
Thank you so mutch for this superb tutorial.In about one month i will receive my callsign. I graduated ham exam an i bougted my radio and the hotspot. 73 from YO4
I’ve watched a number of videos on this topic. I think this is the most complete and useful one I’ve seen. Great job!
I feel like such an idiot. I spent about an hour troubleshooting this and not even five minutes into the video, you mentioned changing the callsign. "Wait...did I forget to change my callsign!?" Sure enough, that's exactly what it was. Thank you!
A greatt video which helps you follow the correct method to set up your hotspot. Got me on air at last for DMR and thank you.
Thanks sir! I've been beating my head against the wall for the last 3 days trying to get this to work. Been on DStar for a few years and decided to give DMR a try with this GD73 I recently picked up. Figured why not for 80 bucks, something new to try/learn. Was getting pretty frustrated until I found your vid! Thanks!
Awesome video, don't think I would have got my hotspot on the air without it.
Thank you so much. Not only are you helping your customers, but others as well. I just got my hotspot up and running and was getting real bad results. I am down to .02 now. Thanks!
Erick, many many thanks, I have spent hours trying to setup my hotspot and now I see where I was going wrong. There are so many videos on setup, but yours actually showed the setup! 73s and I hope to speak to you soon! M0NBB
You make it look so easy you leave out alot of information especially how much space in your computer this program takes!! So no i have a jumbo hot spot i cant use because i cant afford a computer with a gig of space to waste on one program!! Thanks for making it look so simple but not talking about the fact you need an expensive computer to program it. .. i find out in alot of these videos there is always SOMETHING you leave out you take fro granted that we need to know..
I am a noob also and I learned a lot from this video and also amateurradionotes.com/pi-star.htm You don't need to install anything on the PC. All of the programming is on the Pi sd card. The Pi has a server and you connect to the pi-star program through a browser (Chrome, Firefox etc) on your PC or Mac at the address pi-star/ (pi-star.local/ on a Mac). The above link is a great starting point. HTH
Thank you for the time it took to make this video. My hotspot is up and running.
Thanks for this video! I had been struggling to program my hotspot off and on for a while. Following this video made it easy as pi.
Much appreciated! Just getting into DMR and this video was very helpful. Saving it to the Ham Radio playlist :-)
Eric, Many thanks for a great tutorial! With your help I managed to get mine set up and working on DMR in about 30 minutes! 73
I'm very grateful how complete you made the steps of your presentation. If it worked for an old phart, it will work for anyone. Yes... you did slow down (not too much) and yes I'm old, but If whatever happenes before you open the tin wasn't clear, it was by the time the contents had been poured out (sorry about the analogy) Cheers.. and thank you for making the video.
This got me online with my hotspot, thank you!
I just spent hours messing with the hotspot. Five minutes of your video and found the solution, was the TX/RX Offset not being set to -475. Thanks for the video.
Good job, Eric.
Can't thank you enough for this!
This is great, set up my jumbo spot last night and watched your video just to make sure I was using it right haha. Good to go here, thanks
Thanks for the video. I was at a loss as what was wrong with my spot. Now I feel a lot better about the whole thing. 73 K1SLT
Thanks for your effort. Helpful video...
Hi Eric, just found your video as I’ve just bought a DMR hotspot and was needing to find out how to program it. Thank you, I may consult it again when I can set mine up. Phillip - MM7BCL
Great video. Answered all my questions about DMR. Waiting for parts to arrive for my hotspot.
Thank you very much i finally got my dash set up right much mahalos from hawaii 73s
Thank you. I'll use it to program my jumbo hotspot unit. You got my 5 stars!
Thank you! I'll be getting my first DMR HT in a few days. Already have my dvmega/pi setup for dstar, and going to setup DMR also (yes, they do DMR lol). Just got my DMR ID today. Yaaaay!
Thank you for your info video, you have given me lots of new information to program my Pi Star with, many thanks.
Excellent Video. I followed the previous video and had a couple of difficulties, but it is all worked out. One thing I would like to add regarding the DMR ID. If you are running the Jumbo Spot in private mode, the DMR ID in the Jumbo Spot and the radio need to be the same. If they are different, the radio and Jumbo Spot do not communicate and you get an error on the live logs that says "RF User ####### rejected". If you operate the Jumbo Spot in public mode, any DMR ID will be able to access the Jumbo Spot. At least that is one of the problems I had. The reason I had this problem is I assumed you needed a separate DMR ID for each device, and I applied for and received 2 DMR IDs.
Thanks for this tutorial! I’m new to DMR. I just got a d878uv and a hotspot and I’ll set it up tomorrow, using your step-by-step video. It all looks pretty straight forward! M7XDM :)
Thanks for the post 📯
Thanks for the tutorial that you made it has helped me configure my pi star Hotspot just got on the air today now looking for some good top groups
Thank you thank you thank you, I was about ready to take this thing out back and hit with a hammer to see if I could get to work. I bought it from a company that told me it was supposedly 100% set up all's I needed to do was add my Wi-Fi info.
Would love to see another video on this for setting up System Fusion. Appreciate your video's!
ive setup up fusion and it works ok but ive got the same radio as him and it wont connect to the hotspot is seems fusion is a lot easier to get into than DMR
Thank you. Appreciate the speed. Really understood it. Thanks again and 73.
good vid pro. Just got my hot spot to work. thanks again.
Great video and very helpful. Thank you.
Very helpful thanks
A Googleplex to the fifth power of thanks!!!! Your video de-screwed my Pi hotspot!!!!
Excellent video!! Helped me get my pi star configured. With the offset the BER is 0.0%!!! Awesome!! Keep it up!!! W9JTC
Thanks for the informative video, I have a ZUMSpot and used your setup. Followed on one computer and accessed hot spot on another, step by step. Thanks again. N9TDE
Thank you Eric for this great video
Your awesome,Great Video! One of my friends was having an issue with this same exact set up, and because of this Video I am sure his problems will be solved. Thank You De N1UFO/Gabe 73.
Nice job, this was very helpful and comprehensive
Thanks. Very enlightening. (maybe give the mouse half a tranquilizer 😁 )
Great info!
How did he get to that screen just to set it up? What is a dashboard? How do you get the "control software". This is the problem most people have that are new! A lot of folks would love to follow these instructions if they just knew how to get to where this video started!
I'm glad I found this. The only change I had to make was the RXOffset on mine is -475. It doesn't say anything about the TXOffset though, so I'm leaving that at 0.
I am by no means certain but I believe the transmit offset should be the same, have a look on Ebay, one of the kits has that in the description
@@g0fvt Sometimes it's the same, sometimes it's not. WHen I set my board to the required TX offset, my radio wouldn't receive. Tune into a parrot or echo talk group and use that to tune your receive offset, just like you do your transmit.
@@ScottPettigrew my MMDVM is operating with the suggested +500 correction on both transmit and receive, certainly the received BER is very low not easy to gauge in the opposite direction. FWIW my MMDVM is not the full duplex capable version.
I've had my Nano Spot for about a year. Thanks to this video I think my hotspot is programmed right. Now to work on the Ailunce HD-1. Something is not right with it 73 NE5U
I have the "Duplex Repeater (or Half-Duplex on Hotspots)
" Not sure how to set that up for RX/TX and the Radio/Modem Type:
E X C E L L E N T !!!
Thanks you answered questions I did not know I had.
Thank you, this was very helpful in programming my DMR radio!!
Thank you very much very helpful video. I need more information about DMR transceiver set up. Could you kindly show me how to configure a minimum set up on TYT MD-380 ? Thank you in advance.
Half I dont understand and half I dont wanna explain. Dyin right now. Best line I ever heard from you hahaha. EPIC
"Complete Tutorial" is mere clickbait, in that case.
Thank you , Worked great
Very Informative and helpfull Thank you
Thanks!
Still working on getting my hotspot working
Excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video, just got a rt52 and a hotspot today and was really struggling with the setup, having seen this I've made a glaring error lol, I'll deal with it tomorrow though now as it's past midnight ZzZzZzZ...
Hi Eric, I’m just getting into the Amateur Radio hobby and as my first radio I purchased an HT with DMR capability. I found this video very informative and it answered a lot of the questions I had about connecting to talk groups, etc. The question I still have though is, does it work the same way for repeaters that are advertised as supporting DMR?
Thanks in advance, 73
What about firewall rules? Ports? Everyone is behind a firewall now and a video describing what ports and rules need to be configured in a firewall to allow pi-star to communicate behind it. Thanks mate.
So I got one of these hats, and now Brandmeister requires a login and registration of the hotspot to get it going on DMR. Couldn't for the life of me figure out why I couldn't hear anything. Finally checked the logs...
Login to the master has failed, retrying network ...
Now I'm waiting for up to 48 hours for an admin to manually confirm my account. Was so excited when I got my GD-77 to try this out with.
Your awesome! I love your videos, Please note that there are new FW versions of the Jumbospot (1.3.7 I belive) and PI-Star (3.4.15)
I guess there was an earlier video that said what to connect to what (physical connection, that is); also another video said to flash an image, but it was a strange video with a computer voice. Where does that come in?
thanks for the video makes sense
You stated on here you made Ah video on Dstar where is it?
Thank You
Eric, thanks for the great video. I have one question, when you change talk groups do you need to key the ptt so the hotspot knows what room to monitor?
The question I have is this, where is your hotspot at the begining of this video? Are you hooked up to the computer?
Hi, can you please do a video on how to set up 2 handhelds to use with a duplex hotspot board? How to do the codeplugs and how to set up pistar for duplex operation.
Hey Eric
Thanks for the post 📯 do you have one for programming the radio for hotspot.
I can't remember
I’m having trouble with ailunce programming by hand. Can you do a video on it?
What Rx/Tx offset would be needed for Zumspot Elite 3.5 ?
I wouldn't be guessing in the advanced menu. All the hats will be different. Its the nature of the modulation type. While you had a value to fall back on, that someone else optimized, it may make it worse on another radio, even if they are the same model. If you need to change the freq offset, then most likely you need to calibrate the 2.75mhz deviation as well. A cheap nano vna is all that is needed. IMHO, it should be done right, or left alone.
Good video, helped me solve a technical issue. Thanks, Barry K6ST
Okay so now I followed this and got it programmed. But how do I now get my radio to contact it? Do I go change every tx/rx frequency in my codeplug to analog and this frequency? My brain doesn't know what is next.
I'm the same way. The "pick a frequency" part threw me waaaaay off
I hear people talking on TG 3 through my local repeater but not through the pi-star. When I look at the Brandmeister website, I don't see TG 3 at all, however North America is listed as TG 93. Does this mean the pi-star can only listen to talk groups listed on the Brandmeister website?

Thanks for this video. Solved a problem none of the others did...73 de N4KYO
Thank you so much for this vireo.. Plain talk wind every time :)
Last Q Sir, can this jumbo be set up for DMR & Dstar bought ? 🎉
Reverted back to this video after not using my hotspot for months. I factory reset the hotspot after I was not hearing any traffic or seeing in activity on the BM Dashboard. On the BM Dashboard, when I click on my hotspot in the menu on the left there is a red power symbol next to my hotspot. So I factory reset. Followed the steps in this video. Still not seeing or hearing any traffic and the red power symbol is still displayed. Any ideas?
Do you have to have a radio ID to recieve and not transmit ? I've been at this for weeks and cannot hear anything. No repeaters, or through a hotpot.
Great video. I am a neophyte. On the expert panel after setting the offset. So I make a transmission. Where do I see the bit error rate? And, when you set the transmit (simplex frequency I presume) in Pi-Star do I have to set the same frequency on the HT?
grrrr just updated both of my boards to a new version. now i cant tx... the boards wont receive it. i have to check to see if my server is set correctly and then i will try the offset at -475 to start. hopefully that solves it. any other help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. im not sure what is wrong with my set up. Its a jumbospot using pi zero W.
Same problem, did u fix it?
@@marianochabeta yes fixed a while back👍🏻
Thanks how did u solved this? I press ptt and nothing happens on my hotspot. But i can listen perfecto
@@marianochabeta once my boards were updated I rebooted both. It solved the issue👍🏻 hope this helps
In my case, I can not receipt any talk group pop up in my dashboard but I can transmit my signal to my hotspot (my dashboard respond it). Shall we need to have same frequency with other member in TG?. My Echo test also not working.
I still stuck in a couple weeks // OMG.
Thank you.
This pi-star interface looks great. If only someone could made a grafical user interface for svxlink. I miss the private rooms with d-star, with echolink u got a liitle bit more privacy
i have a question, for the frequency you added 446.500 is that going to be the frequency of the local dmr repeater thats near me that i use? or is this just a random frequency ? can i use 446.500 myself if it is just a random frequency?
Help, my Hotspot does not show it is listening? I have watched your video more than once. What may be the problem?
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to create... One this to consider is that the OLED display needs to be set to Type 6 in the expert configuration for the MMDVMHost. This is probably already set in the bundled system, but if you do a Pi-Star image update that parameter seems to get lost.
Thanks again. 73!
I think it depends on the display size. From what I could tell, the .98" display requires OLED 3 while the larger >1" screen is OLED 6. The Jumbospot I'm using has the smaller screen and OLED 3 is working. :)
Need one for duplex
Hello .. new to dmr....
Setup vid from boot got the connection to hotspot.. but now I can not reconnect to to config... it doesn't show on wifi search either. I always get cannot connect to network..
Nice job, TYVM. But at the end, what do you mean by only transmit on time slot 2? That is based on the repeater talkgroup correct? If not what/where is that setting in pi-star...
all good except the last bit. It's a simplex hotspot so TS1 will always be disabled. That doesn't mean e.g. that a TG on TS1 should be programmed in the code plug on TS2 because the hotspot TS1 is disabled. The Hotspot will translate for you for TGs which are set to TS1. It will receive and then Tx on the net on the codeplug set TS... Am I wrong?
Hello sir
Could you tell me do I have to set up a talkgroup. Cc 1 is this just for that freq.
Hi Eric a very informative video iv recently built a hotspot using a raspberry pi zero with a mmdvm hat primarily to use on ysf iv followed lots of RUclips videos but for some reason the hotspot will not receive when I tx to it but I am hearing stations chatting on the cq-uk room which is what iv set it up for also I’m not able to tx the the parrot server. Any tips of where to go from here would be much appreciated 73
