Unfortunately GPS on DMR radios isn't legal per Part 97 as the radio transmits without an ID. It's something we've always wanted to use but Part 97 prevents us from doing so legally. de K0JSC On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 10:00 AM, <allstar-digital-request@lists.keekles.org

I purchased a Hytera MD652 and I noticed it comes with a GPS antenna. As far as I know GPS can not be passed thru to Brandmeister with DMRLINK, I honestly can't remember.
Anyone currently doing it or tried to do it?
Maybe this will be something added to HBLINK, I'm not really hung up on the option, mostly surprised I got the antenna, I'll probably just install it in case the option comes up.

I don't get this interpretation. The DMR transmission is a single digital stream (TDMA). DMR, unlike D-STAR and Digital Fusion, does not provide a digitally encoded callsign identification, but we haven't seen any indication that the FCC is citing people for using it, so long as they verbally ID according to the rules. GPS within that digital stream would seem to simply be accompanying telemetry, so long as identification is happening in the voice portion, it would seem to me that the transmission is identified. What am I missing? On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 9:07 AM, Jeff Carrier <k0jsc.jeff@gmail.com> wrote:
