After starting and setting up the software one now has a Hotspot for the 70
cm/2 m band and it can be used with any digital radios in the supported
modes. You need a D-Star radio to operate in D-Star or you need a DMR radio
to operate in DMR etc. (unless you have the DV4voice (AMBE)
The picture shows a DV4mini connected to a Raspberry PI 2 Mod. B:
The dongle on the top is a WiFi stick to connect to the internet. Below you can
see the DV4mini. The board also has connectors for a keyboard, a mouse and
a HDMI display. This configuration allows for a low power operation.
Reflectors:
A reflector is a server connected to the Internet or HamNET and is linked to a
number of digital Ham Radio repeaters. If one of these repeaters is active it
will send the voice data stream to the reflector. The reflector sends a copy of
these voice data to all connected repeaters. This means that a QSO can be
heard on all those repeaters simultaneously.
