Network Radios became very popular these days. I always wanted to be able to use my 4G\/Wifi Radio to connect to the DMR Brandmeister servers.<\/p>\n

Imagine the possibilities… Regardless of my whereabouts, I could still be in touch with my friends around the world, even if they were just at their homes using their DMR stations, or on the go with a tiny DMR handheld using a local repeater.<\/p>\n

Of course, I have played with similar scenarios in the past using Echolink on a Network Radio. However, with the popularity of DMR, I really wanted to be able to access the network from a Net Radio without the need to use a dongle or a complex home server configuration with BlueDV.<\/p>\n

Recently, Brandmeister offered the possibility to bridge the android app (Mumla) to their network. Each masterserver offers different talkgroups. (in Portugal, for instance, all talkgroups are available)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

What Radios to use? Why not to just use a smartphone?<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

I have tried this setup with different net radios, such as the\u00a0Boxchip S900A<\/a>, the popular\u00a0Inrico T320<\/a>\u00a0and, more recently, with the\u00a0Boxchip A1 Pro<\/a>. All have performed very well. The audio quality is as good as on any Motorola DMR radio.<\/p>\n

As I travel quite often and the cellular networks around are very reliable, I am always able to stay in touch with all my ham friends around the world.<\/p>\n

I could, of course, just use my regular smartphone and do exactly the same, but we all have to agree that having a physical PTT button and a device that really looks like a legacy radio, is much more exciting! I can’t explain this to my wife (non-ham) but you guys totally get this, right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Is this still Amateur Radio?<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

I know this is not old school and some hams criticize this scenario as something of the devil as this is not real amateur radio. Well, I respect them but always like to point them to this great article from Chris,\u00a0G7DDN<\/strong>: \u201cIt\u2019s not real Ham Radio!<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Configuring your Radio<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Configuring your Mumla app on your network radio varies depending on the master server you are using. For example, US hams should take a look into this guide on\u00a0How to Configure the Radios for Mumla<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enjoy all the benefits of interconnecting radio and internet. I hope to talk to you soon on the radio waves!<\/p>\n
