@nu5de

or hotspots (low power, single site, inbuilt radio):

Again BI7JTA has some quality simplex and duplex hotspots.

ZUMspot is another alternative.

Be careful there’s a lot of cheap clones, which often use lower quality TCXOs, and are often off frequency (can compensate in software) or drift

@nu5de yes, all the hats are hardware compatible. Here’s a short list:

Modems (for repeaters and high power hotspots - requires one or two radios). These are known high quality ones.

Repeater Builders STM32 v4 (USA).

BI7JTA V3F4 (China).

ZUM also have a suitable board of good quality.

@vk2gpu happy Wednesday from the radio club, dropping in before work (which is literally next door!)

In the photo the clubhouse is on the left, work is on the right.

@nu5de reflectors are a separate issue, but any MMDVM system will work with them, whether a repeater, high power gateway or hotspot.

As for cross mode reflectors, I think I have that down pat. ;)

@nu5de depends if you want a repeater or hotspot
@nu5de you need a compatible repeater or pair of radios (Yaesu deliberately nobbled the DR-2X to prevent this use though the radios are physically capable). Add a MMDVM board, make sure you have the latest firmware, add a Pi running W0CHP dashboard, and enable the modes you want. I was running FM, M17, Fusion (using YSF), DMR and D-STAR. DMR and D-STAR are the dominant modes here.
@nu5de yeah it’s the hri 200 and windows dependency that turns me off. But sounds like a good system
@nu5de it’s not the end user radios that’s the issue, it’s the network, interfaces and policies.

@nu5de yeah I’m fine at high speed, done a lot of strength and conditioning as well.

I’ll have to check out your repeater. I don’t do wires-x, too proprietary and closes, making it poor bang for the buck, but I can get on YSF.
