If you are new to amateur radio DMR is a mode that will let you contact to people around the world using a radio, then either connected tom a DMR repeater or via your computer or a hotspot this will have a internet connection, the process for this can be a bit confusing so we have put this guide together to help you get up and running
So what do you need to do to get up and running on DMR?
You first thing you need to get a DMR ID you get this from ID Radio ID.net you will need to upload a copy of your licence to a secure platform to get your details verified. you will ten be issued a digital ID.
Do I need to buy an expensive radio for DMR?
NO you can either purchase a cheap hand held radio that has the DMR mode your wanting to use or you can use a pc / phone to access the service.
The next step is to signup to Brandmiester and for those of you that are going to be using C4FM / Wires X, you will also need a log in for this to be able to speak to other amateur radio operators around the world, please see this link for YAESU. You might also consider some setup assistance as you will need some equipment like a hotspot if you intend to use a radio or hand held to access the service.
If you intend to use a PC or MAC to access the DMR mode then a different type of configuration will be required to access the Brandmiester network. The Wires X network is Yaesu specific and will require a radio with that mode on it like a FTM300 for example.
this radio comes with wires X and C4FM capability. Members of a club will give this support and we will be only to happy to help, please get in touch with the club via the admin email address below.
