    BS> I have a DMR radio, and a DV4Mini hotspot.  I try to log into the   
    BS> tg3148 DMR net Tuesdays as often as I can.  There's only three of us

   The DV4Mini's are okay, but the real fun power comes with the DVMega. The   
   DV4Mini's seem to bee too cranky for me. I wrote a few python scripts for the   
   DVMega's that allows you to connect a USB GPS unit to the Raspberry PI and then   
   beacon your location out APRS network. This is something you can't do with the   
   DV4Mini that I know of.   
      
    BS> I'm usually on D-STAR XRF005B, btw.   
      
    TL> That, I can do by various means. :)   
      
   In general it's been really interesting to see how much the digial mode has   
   sparked interest in hams to start experimenting again which is a nice change.   
   Then again there are some that don't want to embrase it either and just want to   
   do their thing. To each their own I say. :)   
      
   My two cents...   
   ... The number you have dailed...Nine-one-one...has been changed.
