I just purchased one of these. Collin K0NNK was awesome. Assembled in the USA. Great communication. Good price. I have no complaints. Aliexpress would've charged near the same and God only knows what you'd end up with in the end.

Awesome

Wow, this is crazy, I never expected to sellout instantly. Thank you Jason for this amazing video and thank you guys for a instant sellout, I will use my profits to get on HF and to expand my amateur radio journey. And for anyone wondering I am now accepting preorders.

Thanks for the video Jason. It's nice to have a good decent price hotspot out there.

I switched both my hotspots to WPSD a few months ago and haven't looked back. I think it is a lot more coinvent than pi-star with all the extra settings.

Any reason why this couldnt be run on a RPI 3B? Power consumption is significantly more on the 4.

Got a question Jason I'm thinking about getting a DMR mobile will I need a hotspot to run it in my car I am still learning about DMR and I'm still learning about Ham Radio too since I got my first license in 2022 I've always wanted to have amateur license since I bought my first CB license just before the last year they throw them in the garbage in the 70s. 73 K4BWN

@HamRadio2 3 месяца назад

You'll need a hotspot in your car unless you have local DMR repeaters near you

Looks like a cool device. He says he'll config the hotspot for the user, will it be plug and play, or do you have to config it more after you get it? Thanks for sharing. KC3UEE

I got a duplex hotspot, DSTAR it's great I can disconnect from a busy reflector. I was hoping on DMR I could do the same thing. Nope just let's me listen to two talk groups at the same time. Kinda pointless on DMR

@HamRadio2 4 месяца назад

Wrong. DMR allows you to listen to 2 TGs like a repeater does

@f00masterFlex 4 месяца назад

100% incorrect statement 😂

@w8kdzradio113 4 месяца назад

pardon me for being a little cynical here, but all it looks like is a reskinned version of pi-star with some features added to it, as far as it goes I like that it displays the room name, probably does the same for BM.TGIF talkgroups, but if my current hardware, but it looks to me like a dual band hat with a raspberry pi single board with some paint thrown on pi-star for the most part

@HamRadio2 4 месяца назад

Except that WPSD is much better than Pi-star

@f00masterFlex 4 месяца назад

@Siskiyous6 4 месяца назад

What do you mean, what else would it support?

@HamRadio2 4 месяца назад

FM? No, why would it? It's a DV Hotspot

@AlfredoC-j4g 4 месяца назад

@@HamRadio2 : Refering specifically to WPSD. WPSD is "PI-STAR ", it's simply a different GUI. As you may already my aware, you have many different types of STM32 hotspot boards. In my case I use the STS32 MMDVM repeater controller board by Repeater Builder. My hotspot is essentially a repeater controller running PI-STAR. I tried WPSD, and it works, however though "FM" mode does technically work, the new GUI in WPSD does not recognize it nor indicates anything "FM" on the DASHBOARD and when using a Nextion screen. It's like it does not excist, but the configuration settings for "FM" are there, just like in PI-STAR.

@f00masterFlex 4 месяца назад

WPSD is most definitely not PiStar, and is not “just different a gui.” It’s a completely different distribution, and has full FM support. Learn more about it/use it/contribute to it before you spout gross misinformation.
