Widowsson Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 I bought everything I need to build a node for gmrs. Or so I thought. Here’s the one I got: AURSINC MMDVM Hotspot Board (V1.5.2) + Antenna Support UHF VHF Support P25 DMR YSF DSTAR NXDN POCSAG for Raspberry Pi-Zero W, Pi 3 Doea anyone know if this will work or do I need a RF only?

That hotspot was designed for digital modes, ham radio. I don’t know if or how it can be used for GMRS. Widowsson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotspots are used to convert between analog (FM) and the different digital modes. If you are just building a scanner type device to see if there is anything on the air then just an SDR radio would work. Widowsson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be a little harsh here, so bear with me. Send this thing back where you got it and get your money back. It was not intended for GMRS, and it won't work. Before you spend another penny on equipment, ask here first. A simple question like "Will an MMDVM hotspot work with GMRS?" would have been met with a resounding "no", and would have saved you time, aggravation and quite possibly money if you end up stuck with this thing. gortex2, Widowsson, AdmiralCochrane and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
