Simplex / DMO
For direct communication on simplex frequencies, recommendation is to use TS1 with CC1.
Please set the following parameters to your radio for DMO operations;
- Admit Criteria: Please set to “Always”
- In Call Criteria: Please set to “TXI” or “Always”
| TG number | TG formal name | Description |
| 99 | 99 DMO | Direct Mode Operations on simplex channel |
| Frequency | Usage |
| 145.375 MHz | Digital voice calling channel |
| 144.825 MHz | Simplex operations |
| 144.8375 MHz | Simplex operations |
| Frequency | Usage |
| 434.400 MHz | Digital voice calling channel |
| 434.4125 MHz | Simplex operations |
| 434.425 MHz | Simplex operations |
| 434.4375 MHz | Simplex operations |
| 434.450 MHz | Simplex operations |
Hotspot operations
For hotspot operations on simplex frequencies, recommendation is to use an arbitrary CC between 11..15. Not CC1
Please configure the actual location of your hotspot to its configuration, the location is delivered to the Brandmeister Dashboard. Please observe other hotspots in your close vicinity and use different frequency and CC to avoid looping through the system!
Hotspot is not by default an licensed automatic station so it is not allowed to leave it on without direct supervision.
Please set the following parameters to your radio for hotspot operations;
- Admit Criteria: Please set to “Color Code (Free)”
- In Call Criteria: Please set to “Follow Admit Criteria”
| Frequency | Usage |
| 144.850 MHz | Hotspot operations |
| 144.8625 MHz | Hotspot operations |
| Frequency | Usage |
| 434.4625 MHz | Hotspot operations |
| 434.475 MHz | Hotspot operations |
| 434.4875 MHz | Hotspot operations |
