Validation and use of DMR Identifiers[edit]

To use the BrandMeister Network via a repeater or hotspot, you must have a valid Identifier know as a CCS7 identifier. For a repeater this consists of 6 figures and for personal use an ID of 7 Digits. This identifier can be used on D-Star, P25, TETRA NXDN and other modes. Cet identifiant, est aussi utilisé en D-Star, P25, TETRA, NXDN, etc... This permits the interoperability between these different modes. The first 3 digits of the CCS7 indicate the country of origin by the use of the Mobile Country Code (MCC) a sequence of codes issued by the International Telecommunications Union.

For example the UK MCC code is 235. This code has no legal interpretation by OfCom, but has been adopted but the World Wide Amateur Radio fraternity as a whole. DMR cannot be used without an ID. The system is internationally administered by Hans DL5DI. The issue of these numbers is not within the remit of OfCom and is undertaken by the Amateur Radio Organisations. The issue of such a number does not constitute that the user has a valid licence, however there are checks in place in respect of their issue in the first instance.

Talkgroups, Reflectors and Interconnexions[edit]

Unlike other amateur networks, BrandMeister permits all valid TalkGroups. These will be routed globally across the network. To facilitate this function, some of the TalkGroups have been ascribed a label. The list in real-time is here. Https://api.brandmeister.networks/v.10/groups/. Reflectors are shortly to become obsolete.

BrandMeister permits access to TalkGroups differently on each of the two time slots 1 & 2. Kindly go to the repeaters page (tbc) where you can find a recommendation for the allocation of TalkGroups that are activated on which time slot. The sysop of each repeater can give recommendations of the use of the time slots for dynamic TalkGroups, that is to say user-activated, and not fixed.

Statistics of talkgroup activity[edit]

TO BE looked at.
