DMR option - questions

[W4KRR]

For those of you that have the DMR option, when programming a DMR frequency, can you specify a time slot and color code in the software?

 

[MonitoringDelCo]

Yes. In PPS, you first set the protocol in D3. When programming your knob position in D5, you can select the protocol type (DMR), the alias (Slot Number), and the DMR Color Code (1-15). See the attached screenshots.

Thanks!
I presume that the PPS will only display the DMR options if your particular pager model number has those options enabled? I currently have a G4 without DMR, and I have never seen any options for DMR in the PPS (v0.3.14.15)

Correct... but you can create a profile for a G4B67BF-* to experiment with, even if you don't have one with that model.

Thanks; I did not know that! I have a G5 on the way because I wanted UHF and DMR options.

In that case, create a profile for a G5B67BF-SXU?EN1401UNI (where '?' is the UHF option that you selected) - you'll be able to use that profile once you get the hardware.

I selected the 400-470 MHz range. Which option would that be?

That would be 'C'

That would be 'C'

Thanks!

Setting up a codeplug for G5.
If I want to monitor a DMR frequency that has multiple talkgroups on it, such as the DMR-MARC net, is there a wildcard type feature that will play all traffic regardless of talkgroup or timeslot? It appears that you have to set up a separate entry for each timeslot and every potential talkgroup.

 

[MonitoringDelCo]

You can use the DMR talk group wildcard FFFCDF; however, the correct timeslot and color code are required. So if you are interested in monitoring a system that uses both timeslots, you will have to program one knob position with slot 1 and another knob position with slot 2. You will then have to create a third knob position to scan between those (see attached image).
