If you're a DMR enthusiast like me, here's a tool that you may find useful. It's called the DMR Activity Dashboard, and it's a customizable last heard for DMR.
Instead of a list scrolling past with everything on a network, you pick the DMR networks and the talkgroups you care about most, up to 64 per network, and each talkgroup gets its own box that indicates when there is activity.
At a glance, each box shows:
- ON AIR, HEARD or QUIET
- Who's talking, with name and location
- Keyups, callsigns and airtime for the day
- The most recent callsigns heard
It can be set up for eight networks: BrandMeister, TGIF, FreeDMR, ADN, AmComm, Ham United, QuadNet and System X.
It runs on a Raspberry Pi (Zero 2 W, 3, 4 or 5), and you view it in a web browser on any computer, tablet or phone on your home network. No radio or hotspot needed.
Setup works like Pi-Star: write the image to a microSD card with Raspberry Pi Imager, drop on a wpa_supplicant.conf from the Pi-Star Wi-Fi builder, and boot. Then pick your networks and talkgroups in Setup.
