Yeah, the interfaces are kinda bad; but after sitting down and taking a good look at it, it ends up being fairly easy.
The gist is basically, set your DMR ID properly, setup a channel with a local repeater, and done; the info is just scattered everywhere (and shitty manufacturer websites don’t help either), so a bit hard to find sometimes.

I’m writing the last episode in the DMR series about hotspots (which should be out tomorrow). So far, it’s been the mode I’ve had the most fun with given it has tons of people, and was pretty easy for me to get into.
