Need list of rigs that work with external MMDVM modem

Thanks for reading. I am looking for lists of current (The last 5 years or so) Amateur VHF or UHF radios with rear panel ports that allow that radio to function as a Pi-Star hotspot when used with an external Pi with MMDVM modem. I just want to increase my hotspot reach from 20mw to 5W. 73, Jay W6CJ

Re: Pi-Star Voice Gender

You might try setting the ircddb voice to UK English, it sounded better to my Yank ears.

Settings: IC-9700 & Pi in Access Point Mode?

I have my 9700 running in Access Point mode, using a Pi. I noticed these quirks and wonder if anyone can help: 1. Voice peaks from some stations seem to cut out (limit or clip??) while listening with my D74. Are there level, or other adjustments in the Pi or IC-9700 that I can try? (I did not have t...

Radios for the SCM-32 DVM modem?

Is there a list of recent Alinco, Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu transceivers that will work with an MMDVM modem set up for D-Star and Fusion?
I know that some models do not have the necessary rear connection, or will interfere with modulation/demodulation.

Thanks & 73,
Jay

Re: IC-9700 as Access Point of Hotspot?

OK- got it working.
The Pi had to be configured for Dtsar repeater, as well as selecting Icom for the pi internal modem.
Is anyone familiar with the IC-9700 menu settings for this arrangement?....audio levels, etc..??

IC-9700 as Access Point of Hotspot?

I'm looking for ways to set up my IC-9700 as an Icom Access Point or "longer-range hotspot".
I have the OPC-2350LU cable. My Pi-star is a ZUMSPOT NEXTION with two micro USB jacks.
What IC-9700 and Pi-star settings worked for you?
Thanks & 73,
Jay

Re: RF amplifiers for Pi-star

Andrew & Group;
Thanks. I'll look up that MMDVM repeater board.
Hopefully configuration will be easy enough even for a retired emergency services radio guy.

RF amplifiers for Pi-star

I see that DF2FQ makes a P8X UHF amplifier for Pi-star radios.
Are there other RELIABLE amplifiers out there?

(Yup, I test with a spectrum analyzer and add filters as needed)

CAN'T ACCESS D-STAR ACCOUNT

I tried to log in to my D-Star account to make a few registration changes, but lost my password.
I tried their "lost password" routine; the site asked for my email...but did not acknowledge my CORRECT email address.

Any fixes?
