MMDVM Jumbo Spot

Picked up a Jumbo Spot the other day, and now have it working, although there are a lot of additional things it can do, which I haven't explored as yet. All for another day.  Not sure why it's call 'Jumbo'?  It's very small!

On Fusion I'm generally connected into AU YSF001
On D-Star, try REF023-C or XLX389-D
On DMR BrandMeister Room 505005, 5056 or 5058 (via YSF2DMR bridge)

The MMDVM Spot has the ability to operate in one of four modes D-STAR, DMR, C4FM/Fusion and P25. (It may actually be more!)  And there are some reflectors/Rooms that can cross link these modes. For example VK4TUX has a system that links Room AU YSF001 (Fusion) to XLX389-D (D-Star),  along with DMR and (I think) P25. This makes it possible for Fusion, D-Star, DMR and P25 cross mode QSOs.

It's all very Cool!

SuperMon 6.1

The Hamvoip Allstar software comes with several web interfaces pre-installed.  SuperMon is by far the best and it has just undergone an upgrade to ver. 6.1.  It's a worthwhile upgrade that provides additional clarity on the system's real-time status.  See below.

ReactOS


Whilst surfing the net I came across this interesting site:- https://www.reactos.org.

The site states the following:-

Imagine running your favorite Windows applications and drivers in an open-source environment you can trust. That's ReactOS. Not just an Open but also a Free operating system.


This may be worth a look!
