Part two: the hotspot saga
So, I”ve talked about my radio, what I do on DMR, what”s missing now? I know, the hotspot! Before beginning, thanks to the peeps at FinDMR for answering my (probably stupid) questions. Briefly mentioned before as well, the hotspot is actually the second most important part of DMR in some cases. For instance, if you…

Finally configuring my radio properly
Mentioned briefly in my previous post about DMR, I am the proud owner of an Anytone AT-D168UV. Even tho it felt like a cheap radio at first, now that I understand more how it works and what the options do, it”s been really fun to operate. For the brief specs, this model pushes around 5W…

Before that, I was told that DMR had a pretty large community in Finland,…

If we have a few places in common, be it online chats or the virtual worlds of Resonite, you’ve probably noticed that I’m appearing less and less often. There’s a pretty good reason for that: I’m just so tired. 2025 has been something for me, I got a radio license and callsign, joined the Resonite…

PII in plaintext on ANFR’s website
First, some context.ANFR is France’s equivalent to the OFCOM (in the UK), BNetzA (in Germany) or Traficom (in Finland). They regulate allocations on the radio spectrum and everything related to it. Last year, they did a public consultation in relation to raising the threshold for “atypical points” from 6V/m to 9V/m. As with anything concerning…
