Please set the following parameters in your DMR radio for proper repeater operations;
- Admit Criteria: Please set to “Color Code (Free)”
- In Call Criteria: Please set to “Follow Admit Criteria”
Network functions
- Parrot application answers on private call address 244997
- ARS/RRS/GPS Location update destination is private call address 244999
- TMS (Text Message Services) destination is private call address 244990
- CAI network in Finland is currently 10 instead of default 12
- CAI Group network in Finland is default 225
Talkgroups
FinDMR talkgroups are assigned to timeslots according to the general model; Countrywide and international traffic on TS1 and regional traffic on TS2.
On dynamic talkgroups the timeout is 10 minutes, handoff timer is 15 seconds.
TS1
| TG number | TG formal name | Description |
| 244 | 244 Finland | Countrywide talkgroup, static on all repeaters |
- Subscriptions to all Brandmeister network talkgroups outside Finland should be done on TS1
- TG91 is activated automatically on every repeater during Worldwide Check-In every Saturday at 1600UTC
TS2
- Regional talkgroups 244X and sub-regional talkgroups 244X1, 244X2 and 244X3 are set static on repeaters in their respective regions. Elsewhere talkgroups are available as dynamic on TS2.
- QSY talkgroups 244X0 are available as dynamic only
- X represents the respective region 1..9

Frequencies
Repeaters
The Finnish repeater allocation has specific channels reserved for digital repeaters. Most of the FinDMR network repeaters use these specific channels but there are also some which do use old mixed-mode channels. More information can be found from automatic.sral.fi -service
145 MHz repeaters
- Repeater offset is -0,6 MHz
- Channel width 12,5 kHz
- Common Color Code is 1
| Channel number | Repeater TX | Repeater RX |
| V1 | 145.5750 MHz | 144.9750 MHz |
| V2 | 145.5875 MHz | 144.9875 MHz |
434 MHz repeaters
- Repeater offset is -2,0 MHz
- Channel width 12,5 kHz
- Common Color Code is 1
| Channel number | Repeater TX | Repeater RX |
| U0 | 434.5000 MHz | 432.5000 MHz |
| U1 | 434.5125 MHz | 432.5125 MHz |
| U2 | 434.5250 MHz | 432.5250 MHz |

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 |
Duplex Hotspots
 | NOTE: This is preliminary information and not yet verified |
For duplex hotspot operations the frequencies 434.9875/432.9875, 434.9625/432.9625 and 434.9375/432.9375 can be used. Please check that the frequencies are free on your area.
