SharkRF IP Connector Protocol server

SharkRF IP Connector Protocol server

This daemon can be used to create your own private radio network using SharkRF devices like openSPOT, or your own custom software/hardware, as the SharkRF IP Connector Protocol is open source.

Simply it's like a TAC310 off of the DMR network. A standalone talkgroup.

All connected and logged in clients receive the data you send to the server.

Note that on BrandMeister, DMO mode links the two timeslots together, so this setting is irrelevant.

– You can set the TDMA channel for data in DMO mode. DMO mode is enabled if the modem’s RX and TX frequencies match, or the modem is in DMR Hotspot mode. In this case, only one TDMA channel will be used for communication. Note that on BrandMeister, DMO mode links the two timeslots together, so this setting is irrelevant.


2 Static Talkgroups to different Time slots

In Brandmeister you can set multiple Static Talkgroups. On static talkgroups you don't need to link by pressing the PTT. So static Talkgroups can be add to a scanlist on your tranceiver.

if you have, for example, 2 static talkgroups set and you have a QSO on the first then it can be happening that on the second talkgroup another QSO wil start. This can disturb your QSO on the first Talkgroup since there is only one Time slot.

Is it possible to set the second Static Talkgroup to the second Time slot? I think this wil be a great feature but i don't know if this wil be possible in openspot.

DMR Hotspot from SharkRF

DMR Hotspot from SharkRF

A few years ago, I picked up some used MOTOTRBO gear to use on our local DMR repeater system (MOTOTRBO is Motorola’s version of DMR). Here in Colorado, the Rocky Mountain Ham Radio group has been instrumental in establishing a great network of DMR repeaters, a real asset for Colorado radio amateurs. See Rocky Mountain Ham Radio TRBO/DMR Network.  Worldwide, the DMR-MARC organization has created a robust network of MOTOTRBO repeaters in over 60 countries.

A more recent development is the establishment of the BrandMeister Network, which promotes more of a homebrew approach to DMR. This evening, the BrandMeister dashboard shows 634 industrial repeaters (commercial equipment), 263 homebrew repeaters and over 1300 hotspots of various types.  A variety of DMR hotspots are available, including the DV4mini. I’m not going try to list all of the hotspots available as I’m sure I’ll miss something.  The SharkRF openSPOT caught my attention because of this excellent review by John ‘Miklor’ K3NXU. Because of its popularity, the openSPOT is on backorder (price: 182.5 Euro).
