After viewing your video, I purchased one for use with my Motorola APX 8000HXE; I received it yesterday, 12-November-2020. Robert provided me with excellent post-sale support; I never used Pi-Star. This I one of the best purchases. Easy to use (e.g., FPP (Front Panel Programming)), great build-quality, and the RX/TX are crystal clear: BER is adjustable, and I’m at .2% ~ .4%. All the P25 operators told me I sound great. I use the TGIF-Spot exclusively for my Motorola APX 8000HXE.

I like the TGIF-Spot more than my openSPOT3.

Thanks for your video and review: honest and helpful.

Just picked up a TGIF Spot...great hotspot!

[ronniecasey]

Absolutely a great Digital Hot Spot, could not ask for any better. You are spot on with your comments on them.

[rickcross]

Great video, even better hot spot! I believe the reason Robert uses a 90 degree fitting for the antenna is that in that configuration with the hotsport set vertically it runs much cooler that when laid flat.

I ordered one today. Robert called me, to verify a few items on my setup request. He's dropping it in the mail to me today. Thank you Jason for all you do !

[madmax]

thanks Jason, helped hooking up my new skybridge plus to use in conjunction with my icom 9700 for DSTAR

[Brianflys]

Just got my TGIF Spot based on this video from Jason. Thanks! Also made sure to tell Robert where I saw the review and that this sealed the deal to buy it. Can't wait to get it online when my Anytone arrives.

I built a MMDVM dual hat hotspot with a 2.4 nextion display and a c4labs case . I have the Brandmeister network on time slot 1 and the TGIF network on time slot 2. The setup works great.

[JustLearning]

I love that the power cable connects from the top of the hot spot and not the bottom.

[billsbullets]

Just pulled the trigger on one. Thanks..

[edwardharding]

I have 2 TGIF hotspots, the junior and the 2.5 Nextion screen version, both work flawlessly. I plan to get this larger version soon. I have received help via phone, email and radio with the builder, Robert K4WZV, numerous times! Great customer service ! I recommend TGIF products.

Jason, keep up the fantastic work! I enjoy your reviews and sharing your knowledge of our fantastic hobby. God bless, Mark W5HSJ Corpus Christi, Texas.

I just had that repeating/looping experience on 3100 the other day. The guy who did it was clueless as to the cause. Thanks for sharing.

[jemalone]

I see that you can use any digital radio to talk to YSF, DSTAR and DMR all from one radio using this Hotspt. So how would I program my DMR radio to use DSTAR or YSF with this Hotspot? thanks I am planning on getting a Hotspot ASAP, trying to decide on this one or another brand.

[zohanzohan]

nice video. looking into one of these TGIF's spots... yes that 3.5 screen looks nice, plenty of info. nice features as well...

[michaelpunt-kfakl]

Just set up my TGIF Hotspot. So far it's great. Within 5 minutes of setting it up I had some DMR QSOs and a Fusion QSO as well.

[barndweller]

I wish you would do a walkthrough on how to make it work with D-Star and Fushion. I purchased one used and I am lost. I do not have a DMR rig.

[jerryker]

I ordered one last night... I have a Zumspot it drives me nuts trying to change rooms so looking forward to the TGIF Thanks Jason 73 Jerry de K7ER
