MB6IAL DMR and Fusion Gateway
MB6IAL is a Brandmeister and C4FM UHF DV gateway powered by a Raspberry Pi running W0CHP's PiStar Dash fork with a MMDVM RepeaterBoard v3 by BI7JTA connected to a Tait TM8235.
It operates at 1watt(!!!) and shares the same antenna as my MB7UAL APRS digipeater.
It serves mainly as a 'tester' to see whether there is enough demand/support for a full DMR repeater (maybe with added Dstar). The way it's been setup means it's rather easy to add in a receive radio and turn it into a repeater.
If you have any issues, please email me [email protected].
Due to the truly unique way in which the UHF band is shared, the gateway is ATTENDED ONLY and operations might be quite sporadic.
Small note: The RSSI values used for the S-meter need some calibration so is wildly inaccurate.
