recever/transmitter settings 12.5, 20 or 25 khz?

I put together a Pi_STAR DMR repeater using 2 Motorola CM200's. I'm not interested in enabling the other modes, so it will be DMR only. I programmed both transmitter and receiver bandwidth at 12.5KHZ which i figured DMR is narrowband. I had other ham operators tell me i had to configure both radios ...

Re: Does the ST32DVM board support FM mode?

TNX for the reply. The ST32DVM board is connected to two Motorola CM200's running full duplex mode. So FM mode should work. Repeater identifies every 10 minutes. I'm also using a cable assembly made by the same company that makes the ST32DVM board. I will email them and see if they have any suggesti...

Does the ST32DVM board support FM mode?

I put together another repeater with the ST32DVM board and two mobile radios. As of now, the repeater is configured DMR only. I noticed there is support for FM analog mode in pistar expert settings. Does the ST32DVM board support this mode directly? If so, what do I need to do to enable the mode? Tn...
