I ended up getting two

I got this one because it came with right angle SMA connectors. It has been in service since tracking communications with America and broadcasting DMR indoors. Zero bias is required for less than 1% er. A good thing.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Neutral

Frustrating but works

I spent 3 days trying to get this to work. The hint as to which modem to use is incorrect. Use DV_Mega Raspberry Pi Hat (GPIO). I use it with Pi Star. It appears to be well constructed and I have no mechanical complaints. Listening to someone in the UK talk to someone in Oregon. That's exactly what I wanted.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Negative gift

I'm glad I bought it for computers and accessories

Dual access point is definitely a plus. I'm glad I bought a dual AP instead of just one. The benefit I see is that I can potentially use it with two radios. But the big advantage, and I use it, is the fact that I can disconnect from the talkgroup even if people don't give gaps between transmissions.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Works as advertised

Please be patient when adjusting the offset and transmit level to work best with your radios. Once I dial the number it works exactly like a repeater in a much more portable package. Pair it with a full-size Raspberry Pi. For this device, don't waste time with Pi Zero. This is my new on-the-go access point, replacing the simplex model.

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Hard to tell

The second worked great

The first came with c23 in a static bag. The second replacement came within 1 day from Revain! I see the problem in how they package it. Antennas and small knees and risers were put in a bag with a board. I'm sure they move during shipping. I would suggest putting them in another pocket outside of the mmdvm board. Otherwise the second one worked perfectly with pi-star 4.1 and the firmware update via cli worked perfectly.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great price

First board defect

I installed this modem on R-Pi 3B+. With the help of the modem file offered by the seller, the modem did not work at all. Another buyer suggested using a Mega Raspberry Pi (GPIO) DV modem configuration and that solved most of the problems. The remaining problem was the lack of sound. I spoke to the Elmers for several days and no one answered. I decided the board was bad and asked Revain for a replacement. While waiting for a replacement, I touched the TX antenna and suddenly my FT3D caught…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Empty

If you can get it to work, it hardly works.

I am done with the fact that Revain cannot guarantee that reviews are not genuine. "Verified Customer" means nothing these days. This mmdvm board might work, but again it might not work. Quickly returning the first to the second in the process, hoping that this is an improvement and that I'm just "bad". However, the advertised phrase "every sample tested" doesn't hold water for me. The audio output on the board that I received (DMR decoded) sounds like digital breathing underwater. It is…

Pros
  • Sleek and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
