Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays here on the list. We're coming up on FSG's third year and just over a year of operation of the main repeaters in Tampa. FSG now has the best 220 repeater in Tampa Bay, the only 900 MHz repeater in Tampa, and one of the best UHF repeaters in Tampa Bay. We're active on analog, dstar and P25, with DMR coming soon. We have some very cool stuff planned for this upcoming year in new sites coming online. We're expanding HamWAN in Tampa Bay and South as well. Hope everyone has a great holiday, -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.
Yes Happy Holidays to all, I'm new here but glad I joined in. If I can be if any help let me know 🙋 Did you say DMR 😀 Brandmeister maybe 😉 Seems like there lots of DMR interest and action in North, Central, and South Florida so why not here in Tampa 👍👊👌 On Dec 25, 2016 12:51 PM, "Bryan Fields" <bryan@flscg.org> wrote:

Herb, To answer your questions about DMR there are two systems currently up that I run one in St. Pete and one at TPA. Both of those are on my own cbridge based platform (on 44net) with many interconnects to Brandmeister and others. Working with FSG we have current plans to install a new DMR repeater in downtown Tampa which will provide wider area coverage to to the area. Using the cbridge platform still offers greater control as the system operator which is the primary reason I run one. Ryan, KJ4SHL Sent from my iPhone

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, sorry for the delay. Also Happy New Years coming up as well!! To piggy back on the DMR update. KJ4SHL and I have also been working on some APRS stuff for FSG as well. I hope to get an update email out soon on some of the IGATE and DIGI boxes we've thrown together. At this point we are probably the most digital centric club in Florida. Lots of cool stuff coming down the pipe in 2017!!!

Thanks Ryan and Joseph :-) I'm still getting up to speed with DMR & DSTAR, and Amateur radio in general, but I do have a DV4Mini working on both networks with my laptops, tablets and raspberry pi. I can work the DSTAR 443.425 repeater with my ICON id-54a HT. I can't hit the St Pete or other Tampa DMR repeaters with my MD380 HT from the house (East Lake area of Palm Harbor), but I hope to drive down Hillsborough Ave towards Tampa to see if maybe I am having DMr radio setup issues vs coverage. Where do I find the Brandmeister talk groups you are connecting/linking to? I don't see that on your webpage. I found this under the Tampa Airport tab. *Bridge 3100* Bridge 3100 1 PTT Activated *MARC <http://dmr-marc.net/> North America* NA 3 1 PTT Activated *Parrot* Parrot 9998 1 PTT Activated *TAC-310* TAC310 310 1 PTT Activated *TAC-311* TAC311 311 1 PTT Activated *MARC <http://dmr-marc.net/> Worldwide English* WW English 13 1 PTT Activated *Florida State Wide* Florida 3112 2 Full Time *WCF Local** Local 2 2 2 Full Time *Local Repeater* Local 9 9 2 Full Time Let me know if I can be of any help or if you guys have work days I can show up and help at. I'm not sure if it would help, but I have demo Cellular gateways/hotspots and some other various cellular WWAN equipment I use for testing.

Interesting, all of a sudden I can hit the DMR repeater from inside my house on my HT (MD-380) , maybe someone knocked down a big tree yesteday :-) So I can hit both the Tampa DSTAR and DMR repeaters :-) I figured out that 3100 is the DMR room, but I'm guessing there's no way to link to the other TGs like First Coast DMR (Jax FL) 31121 or Alabama Link DMR 31010? I'm still learning, but seems to be a lot more local activity on the BM talk groups vs. DMR-Marc. Herb KM4YZP On Tue, Dec 27, 2016 at 10:52 PM, Herb Mooney <herbert.mooney@gmail.com> wrote:
