What would be the proper UHF frequency to use for a DMR hotspot in Texas? It seems they are all over the map just looking at the Brandmeister stats.
Armadillo and Cactus interties have some stuff down in that area...Texas Band Plan does not really have any linking frequencies in the 439 to 440 MHz segment.
I think this area might play nicely for those wanting to experiment or have a hot spot for any of the digital nodes.
1. Pick a channel and listen
2. Try it out and make sure you have an ID capability that meets the rules if it is under automatic control and you leave it active when not at the control point.
3. Not a repeater so no coordination, but local folks could keep their own casual agreement on usage and that is Good Amateur Practice.
It is probably time to amend the Band Plan for this increasingly popular king of operation.

I would add that you should not operate a node or hotspot in the 431-433 MHz weak signal band or 435-438 MHz satellite band.Texas Band Plan does not really have any linking frequencies in the 439 to 440 MHz segment.
