Settingupyourtransceiver
Herearesometipsonsettingupdifferenttypesoftransceivers.
DMRradiosetup
Setupasimplexchannel(withthesameRXandTXfrequencies).Youcansetthetimeslottoanyvalue,asit
isnotusedinsimplexmode.
Setthechannel'scolorcodetotheopenSPOT2'scolorcode(bydefaultit's1,itcanbechangedonthe
Settingspage,DMRsettingssection).
SettheTXcontactforthecurrentchanneltothetalkgroupyouwanttotalkon.Ifyouwanttousea
reflector,orHomebrewcallrerouting,setittoID9withagroupcall(whichmeansTG9).
CreateanRXgrouplistandaddTG9toit.AssignthisRXgrouplisttothepreviouslycreatedsimplexchannel.
Thiswayyou'llbeabletoheartheopenSPOT2'svoiceannouncements,whichwillbesenttoTG9.
CreateacontactwithprivatecalltoID9999,whichistheopenSPOT2'sbuilt-inlocalechoservice.Makea
calltothisIDtotesttheconnectionbetweenthetransceiverandtheopenSPOT2.
RunAutoCalincaseyouhavevoicequalityissues.SeetheAutoCal'susagedescriptionintheConnectors
sectionbelow.
Takealookattheexamplechannelconfigurations.
D-STARradiosetup
Settheradiotosinglefrequencymode.
Ifyouwanttouseareflector,settheURCALLonyourradiotoCQCQCQ,andthelocalmoduleonthe
openSPOT2toD.
Ifyouwanttouseagateway,settheURCALLonyourradiotothegateway'scallsignandremotemodule.
TheremotemoduleshouldbethelastcharacteroftheURCALL.Makesureyouhaveregisteredyourlocal
moduleontheD-STARgatewayregistrationsystem.Ifyouhavearegistration,youhaveprobablyregistered
the"space"localmodule.InthiscasesetyouropenSPOT2'slocalmoduletoaspace(empty)character.
YoucancheckyourD-STARregistrationhere.
Youdon'thavetocareaboutRPT1andRPT2settings.
YoucanmakeatestcalltotheopenSPOT2'sbuilt-inlocalechoservicetotesttheconnectionbetweenthe
transceiverandtheopenSPOT2bysettingtheURCALLto .......E(7spacesandanE,replacedotswith
spaces).
TakealookattheD-STARAPRSpageifyouwanttoforwardyourtransceiver'sGPSpositiontotheAPRS
network.
C4FM/Fusionradiosetup
Settheradiotosinglefrequencymode.
Usedigitalnarrow(DN)mode.Voicewide(VW)modedoesnotsupportlateentry.
Ifyourradiohashalfdeviationmodeturnedon,makesureyouusetheC4FMHalfDeviationmodemmode
ontheopenSPOT2.
YoucanmakeatestcalltotheopenSPOT2'sbuilt-inlocalechoservicetotesttheconnectionbetweenthe
transceiverandtheopenSPOT2bysettingtheDGIDto99inyourradio.Don'tforgettosettheDGIDbackto
AUTO(orALLor00,dependingwhat'savailableonyourradio)afteryou'vedonewiththelocalechotest.
RunAutoCalincaseyouusetheC4FMHalfDeviationmodeandtherearevoicequalityissues.Seethe
AutoCal'susagedescriptionintheConnectorssectionbelow.
