Radio Monitor Meeting, Sunday, 11-03-19 5:00 PM To 7:00 PM Bloomington Davanni's

[JASII]

As posted above, this is now official. There will be a meeting on Sunday, November 3rd, 2019, at Davanni's Pizza, Bloomington, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The street address is 8605 Lyndale Ave S, Bloomington, MN 55420, Phone 952-888-6232. To give people a general sense of where this is, it is a few blocks south of I-494 and a few blocks east of I-35W. They also have free wifi. Also, if there is interest, I can bring my AT&T hotspot. I have unlimited internet and I am happy to share it. I do know that some people are reluctant to use wifi at public locations and I certainly understand why.

If anybody is interested in an official (or unofficial) talk in frequency/talkgroup, please let me know. For analog, I know that 146.700 works very well. If there is DMR interest, perhaps I can get a DMR talkgroup. I don't have the D-Star or YSF, currently, so if there is interest in that, you will have to contact someone else.

For those that have been following this forum, fmulder13 has a Uniden SDS100 and has agreed to show it off to us.

Please consider bringing your equipment to show off to others. I am always interested to see how each receiver performs on the ARMER system.

I, personally, don't currently own a huge amount of equipment. If there is interest, I could bring the following:


-AnyTone AT-D878UV Portable Transceiver

-Rugged SPOT NEX-GEN Custom Hot Spot

-Unication G5 Dual Band P25/DMR Voice Pager

-Uniden SDS100 Digital Handheld Scanner (DMR/NXDN Upgrades


Also, if anybody here is currently using Network Radio, please consider bringing those along to show off to others. I currently have Echo Link, Peanut, Zello and one other app on a my Sonim XP8.

Thank you everybody that attended tonight. As always, I had a good time and learned a lot from all of you.

If there is interest in doing this again sometime, just let me know and we can do another one.

I've always got an interest in another one

Matt,

Thank you for the reply. I will arrange another one. One thought is to do it a week after the Super Bowl. That way the holidays and foot ball is behind us, the Davanni's party room should be readily available, etc. That would put it at Sunday, February 9, 2020, but I am open to other dates, too. I will create another thread.

Jim

Feb 9 works for me. I have a hockey game to play that day but not until later so I shouldn't have to leave early this time.
