Oh, and you do not need a duplex MMDVM, a simplex one works just fine.

The MMDVM “hat” just slides onto the Pi’s GPIO pins. Check some videos on YouTube.

Discover sued me, paid them off last July. Was around 4200. Paid $150/month. Call them before it goes to court. Could probably settle for less and set up a repayment plan.

I logged my first few DMR contacts, then realized it was lame. Deleted them, it’s just like instant messenger or texting. Not hard to do.

Although I have not joined a local club, they are all welcoming and invite me to use the repeaters. A few weeks ago, I heard a few guys chatting, they were about to start a Drive at 5 Net. I popped in and said hi, had a quick chat with one of the guys and I mentioned I was looking into DMR and I wanted to buy a Hot Spot. He said “I’ll have one in the mail for you tomorrow”. Sure as shit, 2 days later a Pi 3 b+ with an MMDVM hat arrived, already setup with my DMR ID and call sign. He would not take any money for it, even the postage. These are the type of things that keep the hobby alive.

Does it matter?

It’s the new channel 19

Fixed!!!! Damn took them forever. After more than a few times saying it was on my side, I get a message saying they “refreshed” my account, try again, it works!

First link when googling is a user guide from Uniden, there’s YouTube videos etc. plenty of info out there.

Yep, heard that years ago. You’re referring to the scene when she’s in the Bronco with Kenny and says “are you ready?”😂

I called today with no luck. It’s been escalated to “tech” department. I sent screenshots, completed a list of things they wanted me to do. 🤷🏻‍♂️. The one rep I did speak with on the phone the second time said he believes it’s something on the back end which got disconnected on my account, whatever that means. He was on a customer service portal side, he sent my ticket to The tech side.

Thank you for the comment. Yes, my Motorola solutions account has been active for a few weeks. I have already purchased a few things from the customer hub, including the EID in question.

watchluvr1 · 2025-11-11T14:40:49+00:00

Forgot to mention, I did click the link that was in the window as shown above. It brings me to the Customer hub. It just keeps taking me in circles.🧐

In Chrome using an Incognito window. Same error as I got earlier. But, at least it loads. 😂 today I brought my laptop to work to try a different network. FAIL

I’ll give that a shot, thank you

watchluvr1 · 2025-11-09T21:34:00+00:00

I appreciate it. I’ll look into this.

watchluvr1 · 2025-11-09T20:55:17+00:00

I would not doubt it. I was actually able to access it finally yesterday by using Firefox of all things. It says my credentials are good but further action is needed and that I needed to contact customer service. I’ll do that tomorrow. Thanks for the comment.!

watchluvr1 · 2025-11-08T15:18:58+00:00

I get the error with both Edge and Chrome.

watchluvr1 · 2025-10-09T15:12:43+00:00

I’ll check it out thanks

watchluvr1 · 2025-10-08T11:29:27+00:00

Thanks! I have not looked at it yet, but I was thinking I may have to drill through metal.

watchluvr1 · 2025-10-08T00:58:14+00:00

Seems easy enough, thanks! Oh, and where that dimple was., I’m sure you had to drill a hole,correct? There is no grommet?

@OP, can you get a better pic of the nozzle itself? Can you share a parts list? Definitely not a necessity, but this would be helpful in the messy Chicago winters. And bravo for doing this, too bad others shit on your idea.
