While at Hamvention, I picked up an SharkRF OpenSpot since I have difficulty accessing my closest DMR machines. The install went well, I added a new "OpenSpot" zone to my codeplug and I have been able to access certain wide-area talkgroups. So far, so good.
However, I am not at all clear on how to access only the LOCAL talkgroup on a distant repeater by use of a particular group or private call code (if this is even possible). For example... I would like to participate in a local net on my nearest DMR repeater, but I am not able to reliably access this repeater directly. Is there any way I can "dial-in" to the LOCAL talkgroup on this machine via the OpenSpot? If so, can someone explain the process? Thanks in advance.
