VK1 70 cm DMR activations

Great, Andrew! Good to hear, that there’re some other activations being done with digital voice modes. I’m always carrying various digital HT’s with me (DMR, TETRA, APCO P25, Fusion, D-STAR), also during SOTA activations.

But it’s always difficult to find somebody for a simplex contact. Until yet, I worked chasers on TETRA, DMR and D-STAR from two or three SOTA summits in simplex on UHF, e.g. DC5CC in TETRA and DMR from DL/MF-079, Wendelstein (SOTA Database).

DMR, TETRA and APCO P25 radios have to be programmed in advance using a CPS with the right frequencies and talkgroups, timeslots, ColorCodes etc. It’s important to program the national CoA frequencies for simplex in advance. (Germany+Austria: DMR (TS1 TG1/TG9 CC1) and C4FM: 433.450 MHz, TETRA (MCC:901 MNC:16383 GSSI:1): 430.4125 MHz). Keep that in mind.

I’m really looking forward to more DMR, TETRA, APCO P25, Fusion, D-STAR chasers! :slight_smile:
