AURSINC MMDVM Hotspot Board (V1.5.2) + Antenna Support UHF VHF Support P25 DMR YSF DSTAR NXDN POCSAG for Raspberry Pi-Zero W, 2W, Pi 3, 3B, 3B+, 4 (with OLED)

I used the MMDVM Hotspot Board (V1.5.2) with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ board and have been very pleased with it. I am using WPSD for the first time and it recognized the board as "MMDVM_HS_HAT-v1.5.2" when I selected the hardware option as "MMDVM_HS_HAT (DBM9MAT & DF2ET) for Pi GPIO". The WPSD software was easy to configure and it was not necessary to update the board to firmware v1.6.1 to get full functionality. The LCD screen is very clear and easy to read and the LCD screen responded perfectly to all the WPSD software settings that control it. I would highly recommend this MMDVM board for anyone looking for a well designed and high quality board that is very compatible with the latest software. It is stable with very low BER and has run reliably for me from day one. Highly recommended!

Worked well. Set up with WPSD in 10 minutes or less.

Worked great right out of the box

I’m sure it is a nice product, seems well made. I did not realize that it did not come with the raspberry pi. You also need to have a raspberry pi or this product doesn’t work. I didn’t do my research, I’m new to this.

If you have made a hotspot before, and know the steps, this will work great for you. If your new, the lack of directions will, may be intimidating and even frustrating. Now with that said, its a quality made board , no bad solder joints, worked in vhf, uhf for me. (I did put a different antenna on for vhf) it comes with a small display installed on it, you can add a nextion display as I did, a little high in price but the fact that it works great (if you don't need instructions) means it was worth the price to me. Note: if you use this with a usb hat instead of a raspberry pi, you need to know that bluedv will not activate the display as the bluedv software puts a "display" on your pc screen. I did run it in dstar and fusion, but im sure all the advertised modes work. enjoy ! Doug

It works plug and play just install it and install the software I recommend wpsd and not pistar and you need to throw away the antenna and get a good uhf one. Everyone says the swr is wrong so use a good known antenna

I’ve had very good luck with these Aursinc MMDVMs. I’ve built seven hotspots using them and they just work. I have never needed to adjust for frequency; my BER is low. I hooked one up to my outdoor antenna and a friend half a mile away can hear and hit my hotspot easily on YSF.

Got my hotspot running first try. Radio was a pain to program until I got the hang of it. Have already made multiple contacts and really put this through its paces. Used for a couple months but only time will tell about longevity. Would recommend buying a hotspot like this with pins already attached. Connected easily to raspberry pi 4b and will also for a zero with same pins. Very versatile. Small but powerful.

I use this product daily. Works well
