BUILD YOUR OWN HOTSPOT - MMDVM - 2024

[@Mirrorstar]

Excellent instructions. I have a hotspot coming in a few day. Have the raspberry pi 0. All I have to do now is pass my Foundation exam on Sunday 1st Sept. I have an ICOM ID52 plus. Not opened the package yet. Cant do anything with it until I get a c/s.

Best if luck the 52 is excellent .

Great video! I have one potentially embarrassing question. I’ve had one assembled hot spot, works fine. Bought the pieces to assemble. Question: Do I have to load the raspberry firmware or does Pi-Star handle everything? Appreciate any help!

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Pistar does it all .

I have everything setup, though it won't transmit ?

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

Oh keep trying

When you turned the board over it was identified as a Raspbery Pi Zero W, not a Pi Zero 2 that was said.

Thanks for pointing this out.
