The SharkRF OpenSPOT is a stand alone easy to use digital hotspot for amateur radio operators. It’s support various digital modes like, D-Star, DMR and C4FM. This unit as an integrated web interface, no Linux and no Windows to managed. Everything is integrated in this very high quality little box. It also supports cross mode between DMR and C4FM (DN), you can do C4FM with your favorite DMR radio or you can do DMR with your favorite C4FM radio, this will help saving your precious radio money.
FYI: There’s no AMBE chip in openSPOT. Cross mode works by recalculating the FEC used in DMR and C4FM. The AMBE data is not touched, as it is the same in C4FM/DN mode as in DMR.
I received the unit in the beginning of August 2016, I’ve been using it ever since. Shark RF provides frequent software upgrade which improved the performance of the OpenSPOT every time. Beside the excellent and easy to use web base interface, it just looks nice. The physical box itself is very well built and I can feel the quality of the unit.
The OpenSPOT stay still on a table since it’s pretty heavy considering its size, no problem holding the network cable (cat. 5).
