![]() ![]() DMR is a little less intuitive when compared with standard analog repeaters, but can still be understood with the learning of a few concepts. If you are new to DMR, the description of the conversation probably made little sense to you, but they happen all the time. Once they got that sorted out, there were conversations about hot spots and trying to access a talk group on the other side of the country, which you could not do from the repeater he was currently using. He also did not understand the terminology, and there was a lot of confusion. There was an attempt to get the old-timer on the Local 1 talk group, but he did not have local talk group alias names in his radios, just the talk group ID numbers. ![]() Still, other repeaters outside of that cluster who were monitoring the statewide talk group could only hear the statewide part of the conversation. All the repeaters in the local area that were using the Local 1 talk group could listen to everything occurring on Local 1. All the hams had Digital Monitor on and could hear each other, but were talking on different talk groups. He was on a statewide talk group on time slot 1 while there was a QSO already occurring on the same time slot on Local 1. I was listening on a local DMR repeater the other day and heard an old-timer talking. This article is not intended to be a complete tutorial about DMR, but instead trying to convert what you may already know about repeaters to a fundamental understanding of the concepts of DMR to "flatten" the learning curve. ![]()
