[W8TRK]

Hi Guys & Gals.

any minute now the UPS guy is going to deliver my first pi-star hotspot. Zumspot Elite 3.5 ..
I've seen a bunch of videos on how to connect it to my wifi & radio.
but haven't found any information on how to choose a server? or connect to a reflector ??
or whatever you do to to connect a C4 radio to, say America Link for example, using a hotspot ??

I've been an analogue rf ham for 16 years. got a Yaesu ft3d a few months ago, used it on a fusion repeater.
but know absolutely nothing about ysf reflectors & all that ..

some basic info would be much appreciated.
or a link or 2 ..

thanks 73

Home - pistar.uk is ground zero for information. It will make more sense when you have the hardware and try to set it up using the devices webpage entry on your local network. Many youtube videos out there too. It will be a steep learning curve in the beginning.

Good Luck!

This is the best site I've ever seen when it comes to hotspots.

This link is just to the pi-star page, he has more and well worth the time spent on every page!
Good Luck!
