SharkRF OpenSPOT over a MESH Network
Operating a SharkRF Openspot over a MESH Network
Operating a SharkRF Openspot over a MESH Network:
Today Darryl, K5DLQ, and I connect our MESH nodes together over an internet tunnel (this simulates a true over-the-air MESH network connection that isn’t possible due to the distance that Darryl and I are from each other) and connect our SharkRF Openspot devices together, then perform a short QSO.
The SharkRF Openspot has been one of the most popular DV hotspots, allowing connection into the DMR, DSTAR and YSF networks. Today Darryl and I setup the SharkRF Server/Client option in the Openspot menu, then we use our DMR radios to communicate through each of our Openspot units (his being a server, and mine being a client which connects to his IP on the MESH network).
This can be a great tool for using MESH networking to allow connection of non-MESH devices onto the network.

SharkRF Openspot Mobile Setup
SharkRF Openspot Mobile Setup
A quick look at my mobile SharkRF Openspot setup which includes the use of a TP-LINK TL-WR802N router. The router connects to the internet wirelessly via my 4G mobile phone hotspot. The Openspot can be configured using my tablet which is also connected to the same mobile hotspot.
The devices can all be powered either by a mobile battery pack or through my car's cigar lighter. I use an FTM 100 in the car with a Bluetooth headset to connect via RF to the Openspot.
The Openspot can be configured to connect to FCS or YSF reflectors as well as having the ability to link C4FM through to DMR.
For C4FM users I recommend you try connecting to FCS001/55 which (at the time of publishing) is linked through to the CQ-UK WIRES-X room.
