Please use a dummy load during all your initial tests and any future tweaks you may need to do. Please help keep the finite airwaves clear of testing and un-needed traffic. Other items include, a dummy load and SWR/Wattmeter for testing, power supply, and an antenna when you are ready for the air.This is where your inner geek, and solder hands can come to play. There is no single article or how-to page for making the cable. This can be a difficult part for those who don’t know how or don’t like to solder.

A cable to connect from your radio(s) to the MMDVM*.

Many people are using the Yaesu DR-1X repeater for duplexed operations ( must not be firmware updated, i.e. The old Icom/kenwood sitting in the corner collecting dust is a viable option. A cooling fan will be an absolute must! Motorola radios are great, but have drawbacks if you don’t have access to programming software.

A connected digital environment allows us to leverage MESH networks like Broadband Ham Net or ARDEDNin events where the internet may not be reliable. Through proper coordination, given digital’s IP connectivity and features, Ham radio operators around the world can build fully connected systems, allowing remote parts to have access to RF communication.
BLUETOOTH REPEATER SOFTWARE
The MMDVM_Host software counterpart is opensource and feature rich giving users access to the following digital modes:Īfter following this article you will be able to put together a multimode amateur digital repeater or high powered hotspot that can be connected to the internet for world wide digital communication. The MMDVM/Raspberry-Pi combo will turn a single analog radio into a high powered hotspot or 2 radios into a fully featured digital voice repeater. Instead, it uses cables to wire directly into the IO pins of the radio(s) you choose. The MMDVM-Repeater board is a lot like a hotspot, except it doesn’t have a radio built onboard. The MMDVM is a hardware and software component that can interface radios to a computer, like a raspberry pi, turning normal analog radios into digital radios, much like a TNC for packet radio. This simple creation has put the power back into the hands of radio operators around the world allowing them to build and tinker with digital voice systems, breaking down the barrier of needing expensive commercial hardware. Since the release of the MMDVM in early 2016, Johnathan Naylor’s (G4KLX) creation has hit the ground running throughout the ham community. We have already created a sample script in python, which will help us to do the task.Making your own MMDVM digital voice repeater. The repeater dongle will be connected to a Raspberry pi which will forward data to the receiver dongle.

And that’s how a repeater will help us overcome the range limitation.įor this project, sender dongle will scan for air quality data from HibouAir device and pass the advertised data along with timestamp to the repeater. At the same time, the repeater passes the data to the receiver dongle. Using this dongle’s multi-connection feature, we will make a simple repeater where one dongle scans nearby devices data and sends it to the repeater.
BLUETOOTH REPEATER BLUETOOTH
The BleuIO is Bluetooth low energy solution that can be used to create new BLE 5.0 applications in the fastest and easiest way.
BLUETOOTH REPEATER HOW TO
This article will explain how to create a BLE Repeater using BLE USB dongle called BleuIO and python. Fortunately, it’s easy to overcome this range limitation with the Bluetooth repeater. Sometimes the connection tends to drop or lag when you move a little further away from the device. However, despite the convenience, you can bear witness that the range offered can be a little limiting. Bluetooth low energy technology offers a suitable way of connecting smart devices.
