Talkgroup Description
Everyone,
welcome to Talkgroup 730 of Chile, at TGIF Network.
We are
a narrow and extensive country in the Southern hemisphere of America,
and in terms of Amateur Radio we currently have 8,783 Radio Amateurs
with a current license (2024/March), of which we represent 2,730
assigned DMR IDs.
In Chile we cultivate various digital
protocols such as DMR, YSF, NXDN, P25 (Poco), D-Star, and Codec2/M17
(Beginning). Most of us use DMR, then comes YSF.
In
between February and July 2016, begins the initiative for develop
Digital Telecommunications and Networking. The client platform
adopted was MMDVM in GNU/Linux, and the First Networking server
platform was BrandMeister.
In July 6 we formed a group of experimenters, and we gain presence in several Social Networks. The first original MMDVM in Chile was bought by Fernando CE2DJA (Me), but meanwhile, the group begun to implement their own version of this Modem.
This experiences were so successfully that the first original MMDVM arrive and beguns working at the same time the Chilean modem's version was in operations in Chile. This particular implementation of the ZUM board was designed by Andy CA6JAU, and we called it the JAU board.
Andy later would become part of the main MMDVM's firmware/software design Staff, and he is a real pride for a majority of the Chilean Radio Amateurs for this reason. Furthermore he will design the entire firmware for the ZUMspot with an embedded radio device.
In October 2016, Chile is the Host for the IARU Region 2 General Assembly, and in this opportunity the Workshops were illuminated with an FT-897D with the original MMDVM and connected trough BrandMeister.
We are present in Brandmeister, FreeDMR, Wires-X, AllStar, Echolink, and we are proud to also be present in TGIG Network with our own National Group.
Many thanks to the TGIF Network Administrators who authorized this Talkgroup. 73 de CE2DJA.
