Tuning Your DMR for Maximum WPSD Hotspot Performance

[@davidenright5668]

Thank you very much. This was very helpful, enjoy your Monday Nugget videos.

[@FEPLabsRadio]

Glad you like them!

Jim, I was looking thru your playlists looking for a video explaining how to setup the radio to your hotspot. Do you have one you have made or maybe another you would recommend?

[@FEPLabsRadio]

I can do that, the issue it gets into, is that some of that is radio and MMDVM board dependent. The RXOFFSET might be zero, (which is where I'd start), and it might work ok. Sometimes, you have to tweak that number up and down. DMR, Yaesu, or D-Star? Set up for everything but yaesu varies from model to model. It's not a bad idea, but there are so many radios out there, it's kind of a never-ending treadmill of "Setting up X radio" kind of thing. I'll consider doing something like that though - thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!

Love WPSD! My only nitpick is that the time-slot and color-code fields should be right up at the top by the frequency field(s) OR if they can't dynamically place them by freq when DMR is selected, at least put them together in a block towards the top of the dynamic DMR blocks of fields.

[@FEPLabsRadio]

I agree - It would be better if it was more prominent in the interface

[@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures]

Good stuff Jeem!

[@FEPLabsRadio]

Trying to get you on DMR buddy!

Pi-Star allows use of DTMF codes to allow you to connect and disconnect from reflectors in D-Star. Does WPSD have this ability? So far I have not been able to make DTMF work with WPSD…..

I have BM and TGIF running on my hotspot all the time. I have OpenGD77 on my radio so i use one channel for BM and another for TGIF. I use the talkgroup list feature to have all BM tg's under its channel and all TGIF tg's under its own channel. So i turn my selector knob on my Tyt uv380 to select either the BM or TGIF channel then the up and down arrows while on a channel to select the tg I want to hear. If I want to use BM tg 91(worldwide) I go to that channel and select that tg. If i decide I want to use TGIF tg 91(worldwide) I go to that channel and select that tg. I just have to have the tg's for digit contacts as TGIF set as 5000091 for example. That way it knows whether i'm wanting TGIF 91 or BM 91. WPSD uses prefixes for networks. TGIF is a 5 and SystemX uses 4 and DMR+ uses 8. In the case of TGIF the tg number just needs to have 7 digits. Like tg 91 as the example again....5000091

[@FEPLabsRadio]

Yeah, I haven't really played with using two different networks a lot, it looks like there are several ways to work it, depending on what your comfort level is. I suppose you could just make a separate digital contact, with the appropriate prefix and do it that way as well.

Just a quick question … i ordered parts for a zero2 w as im using zero pi star with wpsd… does the caller ID work on a zero 2w as my pi star zero rev 1.1 does not … great firmware.. far superior to pi star

[@FEPLabsRadio]

It's all software based, BUT, you need to make sure the data files (caller ID) is current. WPSD handles that pretty much automatically. If you're seeing callers in the console,, but not your radio, it's because you haven't loaded the ID's in the radio (for DMR)

[@KD9ZHF]

I saw your CPU usage for the hotspot was 132% - is that with the pi zero 2W? I have a pi 5 and it never goes about 20.

[@FEPLabsRadio]

I don't remember it doing that, but it might have been updating? Normally not so. It also might have been a zero w? I don't think so, but it's been a minute since that video. WPSD and pi zero W - not so great.

[@KD9ZHF]

@@FEPLabsRadio It was the pi zero w not the pi zero 2w - I watched your videos out of order. I really appreciate this series. I was able to set up my MMDVM because with their help. Now if I could find a video that gets me to connect my Anytone AT-D878UVII plus to my hotspot! 😂

[@LorenTedford]

Hey I am having trouble getting my repeater to run DMR and FM could you help me with this?

[@LorenTedford]

I should add I have a stm32 with two Motorola's using a 16 Pin duplexer cable.

Pi-Star allows use of DTMF codes to allow you to connect and disconnect from reflectors in D-Star. Does WPSD have this ability? So far I have not been able to make DTMF work with WPSD…..

[@FEPLabsRadio]

WPSD isn't filtering it out, AFAIK. I have not specifically played with all that, but WPSD is basically new/improved based on Pi-Star. I can't imagine Chip would remove DTMF support.
