I don't do any DMR but I'm able to listen via the Brandmeister Hoseline. I am always confused as to why there are signal reports. Isn't the setup usually a radio to a hotspot that is connected via the internet? Are you reporting on the signal between the HT and the hotspot? Or from the hotspot to another hotspot via the internet?

@VE7WYC I am connecting to a local repeater (Brandmeister) which is connected to the Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network (ARED). The ARED is then connected to the internet by fiber optic cable. The quality of the signal can vary a lot with all different connections. #BrandMeisterDMR

@wandering_ham That makes sense then. Thanks.

@VE7WYC Most people I know use a hotspot instead of a repeater. If that is the case a signal report is kind of a why bother. #BrandMeisterDMR #
