Great video! You've introduced me to the SharkRF. I might have to pick one of these up!

[KUDA]

And have a great time on your DXpedition. Thats one from my bucket list. Hope to work you.

Jason, I believe it would be good to do a type of hands on video for DMR. Example I am in Springhill, La. Arkansas is a mile from us. Need idea about setting up channels and zones, idea of what talkgroups would be good for this area. Idea of suggested zone setup. I believe a lot of people including myself have any idea of how to organize a MD-380 or a MD-2017. Any help ideas on those types of things I believe would be great. Don't get me wrong it is good to hear about Radio's and hotspots but how to organize the bloody things once you get one.

Jason, your video was VERY helpful. I just got mine running correctly as a result of your video. BTW, I am using mine on wifi using a TP-Link TL-WR802N Nano Router. It's on Amazon for $25 and works great!

Damn. You scooped me. I just got my Openspot a few days ago. Got it configured for D-Star right now but I'm looking forward to trying out DMR soon. Nice video. i like your stuff. Seems we keep doing a lot of the same features. We should collaborate sometime.

Nice review, I can not wait till I get the funds to buy one!

Great video! The headset mic you are using during the demo in the middle of the vid sounds great. What kind is that?

[jerardoperaltamiranda]

Hi, Jason. When are you going to do a video using the RFINDER with the openspot2.

Question will the SharkRF only connect to Brandmeister type networks? I need to connect to a DMR-MARC type repeater that is in Gary, IN on the Hosier DMR network.

[dr.mikehughes]

Ok question. Do I setup channels on the tyt for ever talk group I want to be on? I don't see setting up the radio on any of the SharkRF videos.

[sparky_klystron_wzot]

Great show about SharkRF OpenSpot. I will wait for the Wi-Fi version.

Are u coming to Shreveport Hamfest Saturday the 13th?

[nexusnrg]

If I have a DMR HT can I change from talk group to Talkgroup on the HT while using the shark RF open spot or am I limited to only a single talkgroup configured in the open spot software

[AAPR]

excuse my lack of knowledge about dmr I just order my first one the other day, it has yet to arrive
what are the differences between dmr dmarc & brandmeister?
when I made up my codeplug the other day I had to repeat most of the info but change the TG's for that system
does this allow the same or is it one settings, I'm lost there how you change talk groups
 
I wish I could integrate this in our vermont allstar network analog fm system

[jayricks]

so what would happen if you keyed up an analog radio on this? could it in theory cross over to digital? kind of a stupid question but I've wondered this.

[marknewby]

I am having a hard time finding the Shark RF Openspot. It seems that it may be discontinued. Any suggestions on a different device that does everything the Shark did?

[hondocalrissian]

Do you have to use a digital radio to use the sharkRF? Can I use a Dstar to talk on Fusion? DMR?

[dr.mikehughes]

Can you cross talk from a Dstar Ic80ad to a DMR network?

[billgifford]

Hello my question is can I use VHF on my VERTEX STANDARD VXD-7200 to connect/talk/use my RFSHARK openSPOT? W5GIF
