DMR experts or experienced users- one needs a hot spot to use dmr. With pi’s being unobtainium where does one get a hot spot? I’ve seen the sharkrf but that seems really expensive compared to being able to make your own. Throw me a bone. I’m considering a new ht and it will either be dstar or dmr. Without a hotspot I feel like dmr is probably less useful than it would otherwise be. Am I wrong?

@smitty I’m not sure how to tell what talk groups are on a repeater but my local options are limited.
@venya darkglass. So many good options from them. I never turn their compressor off.
@smitty that’s….fabulous.
@dl2jml I did - I just get the image, no descriptive text.
@dl2jml that’s the thing. I don’t see an image description- maybe I need a new mastodon client?
@dl2jml I guess that’s an attenuator for the ht?
@dl2jml I was close to a quarter mile away when I did this, both HTs on low power. I’ve seen the front end taken out of a radio by too much signal before, and I don’t think an HT can do it unless there’s a lot of gain on the receiver antenna. I get your point though. Maybe I should drive out a couple miles and try it again just for giggles before I give his radio back.
@N2DYI it’s a video, but it’s pretty bad. It basically lights up the full width of the band scope.
Do videos post on Mastodon? I’ll give it a try. A friend asked me to figure out his UV5R. I took some video of the band scope on my base station while transmitting on simplex. The first radio is my DJ-VX50. The second is a UV5R. I’d say that qualifies as spurious emissions.
