Recorded at the Cowtown Hamfest in Ft. Worth, Texas, Mark - KD5RXT presents a forum topic on how to build a Raspberry Pi computer with a DVmega, and use it as a DMR hotspot for users who aren't near a DMR repeater.

The Bluespot DMR Hotspot (also called Bluestack) is a popular device to connect to the Brandmeister DMR Network. This device is a small daughterboard would connects to a DVmega daughterboard, which is usually made to connect to a Raspberry Pi. Instead of using the Pi, the Bluespot board connects to the DVmega board, and is powered by a microUSB connector. This eliminates the need for a Raspberry Pi, and instead uses the radio in the DVMega board, which connects to the Bluespot board directly, which in turn uses Bluetooth to connect to any Android device for the purpose of having an internet connection.

Ham Radio Micro-controllers & Linux *Listener Review of this show added to bottom of page A long time coming; Jeremy and George gather this time through to discuss Micro-Controllers and Linux for the Ham Radio Operator! Cale is away, so you know it's gonna be a good show with the guys! Listen in as they describe all the different types of Micro-Controllers, Software and Hardware, Things to avoid and how to get the most from the Makers 'best friend'!

Reviewer name: cb_abq Country: USA Date: January 13, 2016 Rating: Comment: Well done gentlemen! That is the most information delivered about microcontroller and embedded Linux systems related to ham radio, and other applications, that I have heard in any podcast, ever. This is great information to enable anyone, whether an EE, or just an interested consumer to build a project based on either of these closely related technologies. KJ6VU and KF7IJZ are really well informed and articulate on all things ham. Fantastic!
