Here is the SharkRF openSPOT this little box will support DMR (Brandmeister, DMRPlus), D-Star (DCS, REF/DPlus), System Fusion (FCS) networks as delivered. I was in the second group/batch Sep 2016. Below are some open box photos and initial install screens for your reference. There are only 4 screens to configure/setup the hotspot – this hotspot will be ideal for those that would like the ability to have this connected at their QTH and be able use and access the different digital modes to connect via the Internet. No computer system or Pi to update and maintain openSPOT firmware update is easy and documented on the SharkRF web site. This is plug – configure and play all via a web browser.

Hello Ray – you will need another radio to talk to the tiny openspot repeater. You can purchase them from https://www.sharkrf.com/products/openspot/ or here state side at: http://www.grapevineamateurradio.com/store/?model_number=Openspot1 and I think GigaParts has them as well – https://www.gigaparts.com/sharkrf-openspot-standalone-ip-gateway-hotspot.html I am sure there are other outlets. 73!

Hi, Brand new to DMR and have a few questions on the Shark, tried contacting the manufacturer but have not gotten any response. I can’t hit my local DMR repeater from my home QTH and was wondering if the Openspot is what I need. Do I input the repeaters frequency in the software?, Do I have to make a zone for the Openspot on the radio? I use a TYT MD 380 Would appreciate any advice before I make the purchase.
