Update

Apologies for the lack of updates over the last few weeks.  I’ve spent two weeks in Madrid, Spain for work, came back to work on standing up the Monrovia DMR repeater, which of course facilitated code plug updates, etc.  Here’s a short update on what’s cooking, with more to follow.

 

  1. I picked up a Tytera MD-380 DMR HT.  Still playing with it and working with firmware updates, but so far, I like it better than my CS-700.  I will try and get an official review shortly.
  2. Starting working on the new streaming solution, which will be based around an XPR4350 driving by a Raspberry Pi to allow the channel to be changed remotely.  I’ll also be integrating a webcam so that the remote user can see what channel the radio is on.  Step on will be to just get the radio streaming on the feed again, which I plan to work on this weekend.
  3. Going to try and utilize the DMRLinks project to make announcements over a given DMR talkgroup.  The uses for this are numerous from weather alerts to even announcements, etc.

I’m sure I’m forgetting a few things, but that’s what’s on top of my head.  I’ll get back to updating this page regularly.  As always, if you”re interested in anything I’m working on or if you have any questions or think I can help, shoot me an email.
