Wow, thanks for the plug and this is a fantastic overview. 73, W0CHP

You're welcome - it's a great piece of software!

@terryboyle 4 дня назад

Don't forget you can save all these different setups as profiles. One for DMR, one for YSF and so on. Then select whichever you want for which radio you are using

@FEPLabsRadio 2 дня назад

Yessir, that's a great feature in WPSD. I use it fairly often.

@JDHood 4 месяца назад

Bravo! Nicely done! Meat, potatoes and no fluff -- just straight to the point.

@dcarlin3 2 месяца назад

Thank you for this video! I'm new to DMR and this helped me setup my new hotspot in no time.

@frailingham6065 4 месяца назад

I was hesitant to switch at first but it was so much better than the original PI I took the leap. Glad I did. Way cool.

@AmazingSteelers1933 3 месяца назад

Excellent review. I am going to convert my hotspots to this.

@Paddy_Roche 4 месяца назад

Nice work Jim, much appreciated. Thank you.

@DonzLockz 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the comprehensive tutorial to get it all set up Jimbo. That interface is awesome!👍

@scotterdog1036 2 месяца назад

Thank you Jeem! ❤Great video. WPSD is on my project list. Behind a ShariPi, Meshtastic Solar node, mounting Continental TKC80 tires on my KLR650, and a few rounds of Fortnite.😂 I have a PiZero2W in stock for this. I can retire the pi-star running on PiZero2.

@FEPLabsRadio 2 месяца назад

LOL, right! The list never ends!

@immunitycorrupts3641 2 месяца назад

after 2 days of trying pi-star program.. someone mentioned this one. so I gave it a shot, and first try worked.. thanks for the video

@FEPLabsRadio 2 месяца назад

Awesome! Thanks for watching, and glad it helped!

@RandallRash 4 месяца назад

Thanks Jeem. I love WPSD.

@edmatarazzo 3 месяца назад

g8 video. Thank you.

@davidenright5668 4 месяца назад

Like the video, Thanks. Question for you. You and TO where talking about a shut-up mode in WPSD? Not sure where to find it. I look for the video you two talked about this mode, but can't find it. Can you point me to it, Thanks. Dam BM grp91 don't take any breaks in talking to others.

@FEPLabsRadio 4 месяца назад

Go into the BM Manager, and put 91 in the TG box, select unlink, and click the go button. That will disconnect you from a chatty TG

@stevehansen6068 4 месяца назад

I heard you say on the other show that you were at FT. Ritchie. I was there from 87-90.

@FEPLabsRadio 4 месяца назад

I worked for DISA - I was in and out of Ritchie a fair amount, back in the late 90's.

@jbammi 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the awesome introduction and all your efforts. Is there a utility or procedure to migrate a current pi-star setup to WPSD to avoid having to go in and re-configure from scratch. My motivation is that I probably already forgot some config deep down in advanced or some place else. 73 de k1jbd Bammi

@FEPLabsRadio 2 месяца назад

Not that I know of. The original WPSD was called something like W0CHP dashboard, and it installed over the top of existing pi-star. It worked quite well, but Chip (the WPSD guy) basically moved on from requiring pi-star to building a complete new system. FWIW, I'd grab screen shots of all the setting screens in your old pi-star setup, keep that pi-star sd-card safe somewhere, and just start a new build on a different card. With your screen caps, I would bet you'll be pretty close to gold.

@hobbiehobbs 4 месяца назад

I found information on what to use as a computer (Ras Pi 2,3,4) But where is it published what goes on top?

@FEPLabsRadio 4 месяца назад

What you are looking for is an MMDVM hat. This is one I've used in the past - amzn.to/4bx53B5 (there are tons of these all over Amazon)

@hailfire82997 2 месяца назад

Re imaged my Zumspot SD card because it refused to boot up. Might have something to do with pi star ending support? IDK. I like the WPSD software but now it seems the hotspot wifi signal wont show up in my network anymore, so I cant reach the dashboard. Any ideas?

@FEPLabsRadio 2 месяца назад

On initial boot, it takes 5-10 minutes. Look for "Pi-Star Setup" in your wifi SSID list - you'll need to connect to that to link up your wifi.

@erwinancer6138 2 месяца назад

Hi Jim. This looks excellent compared to the original Pi-Star. I am new at this ... Would my MMDVM work for this .. Don't know if mine is the original Pi or like yours "Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1" ... Please let me know soonest...73's VK3EAN Erwin

@FEPLabsRadio 2 месяца назад

Hey Erwin! Yes, it absolutely will. It does the exact same stuff as pi-star does, works with the same hardware.

@arkyump 4 месяца назад

I sure like to know TG,s on the device. I use my pi to switch TG’s all the time.

@FEPLabsRadio 4 месяца назад

Probably a follow-up video on that! Thanks for watching.

@larspregge6420 4 месяца назад

Replacement for pi star, but loginname etc ist "pi-star". Can i use without any problem an old pi-star config?

@FEPLabsRadio 3 месяца назад

It's worth a try. Most of the internals are very similar, I'd give it a shot and see what happens, it isn't gonna break anything.

@jameslee522 27 дней назад

you said its much faster, but this seems to boot so slow on a pi zero w compared to pi-star.

@FEPLabsRadio 5 дней назад

The first time is painful on either one. After that, it's good. Also - Pi Zero 2 W - if you're on a pi-zero W - yeah it's gonna be shit slow, and not recommended by W0CHP (the developer). You can get a Zero 2 W for about 15$ online. Much better.

@HamTechRadioScannerDrones 4 месяца назад

Hi yes WPSD is and excellent option not a replacement tho .

@w0chp 4 месяца назад

I fully agree with this. It’s an alternative. Andy, MW0MWZ, makes amazing software and he’s incredibly talented. I think it’s wonderful that users have choices, rather than one piece of software to manage their digital voice usage. 73, W0CHP

@FEPLabsRadio 4 месяца назад

Perhaps a bad choice of words, but it is hotspot software that can be used instead of Pi-Star. Pi-Star works just fine (for lots of hams).

@f00masterFlex 4 месяца назад

@@FEPLabsRadio I am told that I choose the wrong words, perpetually. 😂😂😂

@revadan 2 месяца назад

for me its just the same..

@FEPLabsRadio 2 месяца назад

I think it's a better interface, and it has some features pi-star doesn't. Both work quite well.

@ScannerJunkie 4 месяца назад

I'm old fashioned. I still like the original look

@FEPLabsRadio 4 месяца назад

They both work just fine, but I think that WPSD is more than just a cosmetic upgrade. Lots of new features. At the end of the day, whatever performs the mission!

@lanceriffle4841 2 месяца назад

I am sorry but how is that easier. openspot is easy. PiStar and WPSD sutable for IT Pros only. Nice try however.

@FEPLabsRadio 2 месяца назад

Openspot has a great user interface. It also is about $300 more, depending on versions. I have an OS3, and it's a great device. I also have multiple pi-based hotspots. I've done numerous videos (as have many others) on setting up pi-star and/or wpsd. Don't be intimidated by it, give it a try. Good luck, thanks for watching!

@stephenferraro Месяц назад

Nice try?? Don’t be obstinate, if something is over YOUR head, it’s a user problem. They make plenty of dumbed down pieces of software and equipment for novice users and folks that can’t be bothered to research and learn. 🤦‍♂️

@wushock92 4 месяца назад

Good job, Jeem! I made the switch a few months ago and haven't looked back, even though I've been told pi-star has made a couple of updates since I made the switch. 73 de WØRHP
