Dongle Access is Here!
|
DMR-MARC is excited to announce remote access with the DV4mini USB dongle available from
Wireless Holdings and the
DVMEGA using MMDVM. You may access any of 21 DMR-MARC talkgroups
with the DV4mini via the DMR Plus Network. Somone locally must PTT the talkgroup to ensure the connection is made between
the stable portion of our network (DMR-MARC) and the experimental (DMR Plus). The inactivity timeout to disconnect is 10 minutes. |

Instructions for DV4Mini Software Configuration
1. Download and install Visual C++ 2013.
(both x86 and x64 for 64-bit machines and x86 for 32-bit machines).
2. Download and install the DV4mini software
3. Follow the screenshots to configure your personal information in the DV4mini software in the DV Control tab.
4. Go to the Expert Settings tab and select you nearest server and adjust the DMR - QRG Correction in the Expert Settings tab to show the lowest error rate. Red is high error,
Yellow is medium, green is low error. You need to transmit to see the bit error rate (BER) bar. We have seen +150 to +300 Hz be optimal, depending
on the type of radio you use.
5. Choose a talkgroup after selecting
the TS2 radio button. Then Choose "Connect" on the DV Control tab.
6. Go to TS2 TG9 on your radio for all calls. (This is similar to what D-Star does with the "T" channel profile.)
