openSPOT with Wi-Fi network which uses a captive portal
The Mac ID cloning is used After log in with phone or laptop.
Warning, not really for the faint of heart, but I think that’s what it’s purpose was ?
MAC settings
This section is only available if Advanced mode is enabled.
You can change/clone the Wi-Fi MAC address of the openSPOT. This is useful if you try to use a Wi-Fi network which uses a captive portal for authentication (example: hotel or airport networks). In this case, do the following steps:
Connect to the Wi-Fi network with your phone/tablet/computer, log in on the captive portal to enable the internet access for your phone/tablet/computer's MAC address.
Switch the openSPOT to access point (AP) mode by holding the button for 3 seconds.
Connect your phone/tablet/computer to the openSPOT AP, but exit the Initialization setup and open the Network page.
Set the captive portal Wi-Fi network's SSID and key at the Wireless settings section.
Click on the Clone button at the MAC settings section (make sure Advanced mode is enabled so the MAC settings section is visible).

sharkRF One Hotspot Device with One Radio
One device or Hotspot with one transceiver and have it all.
Question ?
I was going to ask about the sharkRF box as I thought I could get away with buying a $200-300 radio and use all the digital modes on the sharkRF with a regular single digital mode radio/transceiver.

How to setup SharkRF Connector Server on Linux
I'm not a coder by any means but I was able to bang my way through setting up SharkRF Connector Server on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 using VMware. The methods should be the same for many flavors of Linux (and maybe similar to Pi).
Links to my two writeups are on my blog (that way I can update in ONE place if somebody provides feedback as opposed to four different forums).

When :: 144mHZ 2 meter Shark ?
Is there a 2 meter Shark coming in 2018??
Why not a dualbander, that would be awesome
I have been waiting over a year for the wi-fi version to be released, especially since being promised the wi-fi version should be released in mid 2017.

Why Hotspot
Why a hotspot ???
I don't know anything about these or why I would want one though.
ANSWER ::I understand as I did receive a few emails with questions regarding the unit. In a previous article (the DV4mini review) I did explained in the introduction the purposed of a digital hotspot. Maybe I should have used is again. You can find the complete article on my personal website in the publication page. Below you will find part the introduction text of this review. Hope this help.
"More and more modulation protocols from different vendors are now available for the ham community, including D-STAR, DMR, and C4FM (Yaesu’s System Fusion). In the ham digital world, a reflector is a server connected to the Internet that acts as a virtual repeater. Digital hotspots provide the ability for amateurs to connect to those Internet reflectors from their digital transceivers. Hotspots contain a low-power transmitter and receiver for amateur frequencies, and plug into a computer connected to the Internet. "

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.

SharkRF on DMR setup
The Openspot first with the supplied network cable (it can also be used another) to connect to the Internet router. Then connect the power supply to the openspot and then plug the power supply into the socket. The Openspot now starts.
After 1 minute, the Openspot is ready for operation.
Since no screen can be connected to the Openspot, all settings are set via the Internet browser. To do this, go to http://192.168.1.128/openspot.html_gz#login. The digits 192.168.1.128 are to be replaced by the IP address, which the Openspot has in its own network.
The password is entered after the call. The default password is: openspot
Click on "Connectors" at the top of the blue bar.
Click on "Advanced mode" in the blue bar.
Now select "Homebrew / MMDVM" under Connectors and click on the blue field "Switch to selected". The question, which appears please answer with "CHANGE MODEM MODE".

With SharkRF openSPOT you do not need a computer or Rasperry PI. Everything is already integrated in the blue box so that DMR(digital mobile radio) = Brandmeister / DMRplus / DMR-MARC or FUSION or DStar operation can be started immediately after the one-time necessary settings (capturing the own DMR ID, etc.).
The openSPOT requires the following hardware for operation:
• openSPOT
• Internet connection via Ethernet cable (no WLAN!)
The openSPOT works with a simplex frequency, which you can choose by yourself. It is available as a 70 cm version.
