Review on MMDVM Hotspot Board + Aluminium Case: Ultimate Support for UHF VHF, P25 DMR YSF DSTAR NXDN POCSAG on Raspberry Pi-Zero W, Pi 3 by Flavio Iyer

I have mine to play with while I recover from disc replacement surgery. I figured it would take some time to get everything set up and give me something to do for a few weeks while I recover. Not correct. It took maybe 3 hours for the network to work properly. I made contacts that first evening, including in the UK (from Alabama). I turned it off, assuming it would have to rest in the morning. Wrong again. I turned it on and it just started working. I did this in my car using my phone as a hotspot. If you name your hotspot with the same password as your home network (yes, a little risky, but not too bad), it will bind itself to whatever it finds and just start working. Now I can take it with me in my car and plug it in in a few minutes or go home and plug it in. I've made a lot of contacts over the past 3 weeks as my radio stays on next to my chair during treatment. Since having it I've learned more about my DMR radio than in the entire time I had a radio before I got this hotspot since my house is in the radio zone of a DMR radio repeater. It's not great as a loaded project during recovery, but as a device that just works it's really nice.
