Pi-Star Digital Hotspot Flow Diagram Read More »
So, you are interested in Digital Voice Radio!!! This webpage is to help you get familiar and learn about the different mode and how to find an expensive means to use the many modes available to amateur radio operators. The following modes are for digital voice radio :
1. DMR ( Digital Mode radio )
2. D-STAR
3. WIRES X
4. FUSION (C4FM)
5. P25
6. NXDN
7. M17
Do you have to buy seven different radios??? No!! Using a low-cost DMR radio and a low cost Hot spot, you can use the other digital modes by using what is called a reflector. The reflector is an internet gateway to a distant repeater on DMR which has a bridge to the other
modes and will send back the DMR mode to your hot spot. Here is an in expensive approach. Purchase the following : TYT MD-UV380 radio and a Zum Spot MINI which has a Raspberry Pi 4 computer and has the software already loaded on it. The cost at the present is under $300.
The P-Star software is free and can be down loaded from the internet. Ham Radio Outlet has instruction on how the setup up the Hot Spot and the radio. There are youtube videos for which also can be used to setup the configuration. If you need any help from the NIARA, Jeff
KB9QG (JDeluce@frontier.com) or JD KD9QDL (KD9QDL@gmail.com) will be glad to help you!!

The Northeastern Indiana Amateur Radio Association received two grants to help purchase equipment for the group.
The ARRL Foundation awarded the NIARA a grant of just under $3000 in support of a Go Box project. A Go Box is a complete amateur radio station in a box. A Go Box is useful in an emergency communications situation and portable for remote communications. The other award was from the Amateur Radio Digital Communications headquarted in San Diego. The NIARA was given a grant of just under $30,000 in support of a project to buy a trailer and outfit it with most all forms of analog and digital communications. This would include a mobile analog/digital repeater, Arden Meesh, and computers with software such as FLDIGI, FLARQ, FLAMP, FLMSG, FLWRAP, N3FJP, WSJT, and Winlink. The trailer will be taken to gatherings to demonstrate amateur radio and its capabilities.
Thank you John KD9QDL for your work in securing these grants!
