I have a Baofeng DM-32. After setting up channels in CPS and writing to the radio I found all of my repeaters defaulted to Talkaround mode. I can't find a way to change this in CPS. Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA.

DMR programming can be quite the puzzle. That CPS software is often notoriously finicky with channel settings and repeater offsets. Hope you get it sorted out and get on the air soon!

Starting July 1, 2026 RadioID.net will require annual verifications to keep your DMR ID.


I recommend logging into RadioID.net and make sure your email address is correct. This will allow them to contact you for this verification. Learn more at https://radioid.net.

I'm working on a JSON project and finding limits in how the schema works. I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this.



Let's say I have a file that defines a list of departments and a list of employees. I want the schema to verify the department associated with the employee is in the list of departments. For example: employee.dept must be one of department.name.


This seems complex in JSON Schema.


How have you dealt with this? Are there non-JSON files that would be easier?

I am thinking about an sBitx v3 and I'm excited about the possibilities for portable operations like POTA.

There are many positive videos about this radio. I got one negative feedback, but it was from someone who hasn't actually used the radio.

What are your thoughts about this radio? Should I wait for the v4? Should I think about something else?

I've been thinking about creating a sort of data bus for ham radio applicatoins and data plumbing and considering using MQTT. My ideas so far: Data Sources: - flrig/fldigi XMLRPC - WSJT-X UDP - PskR...

I'm glad to see someone else looking at MQTT. The MMDVM project has been working on MQTT for logging and display interaction. Both Pi-Star and WPSD are in the process of implementing MQTT for their dashboards as well.

This will be demonstrated at Hamvention 2026. We are very excited about the possibilities.

So, I'm working on Flutter again. I have an application idea for the amateur radio community, so I'm more motivated than I've been in the past.


I'll post more as I progress through the process.

They are going to reclaim every node number that hasn't connected in the last 24 months. This is also true for NNX node numbers.

For more details, look at the "ASL News" section of their home page (https://www.allstarlink.org/).

Fire up your old nodes or you will have to request a new node number.
