The website dashboard is located at: http://dv.n5amd.com. This will give you real time information of the repeater showing last heard activity and other repeater information.

How it works

On DMR just key up on the TG you wish to use, talk-groups are accessed dynamically. On DMR, Talk groups will remain active for 15min before auto disconnecting if there is no local RF activity. When in doubt, go to the dashboard.
