Repeaters, MMDVM and Services for DMR in the Pacific Northwest
Digital mobile radio (DMR) is an open digital mobile radio standard with the primary goal of the standard is to specify a digital system with low complexity, low cost and interoperability across brands, so radio communications purchasers are not locked into a proprietary solution. The standard has become popular within the amateur radio community due to the relative lower cost and complexity compared to other commercial digital modes.
PNWDigital provides voice, APRS and SMS services to any hams in the PNW states of Idaho, Oregon and Washington plus affiliate services in British Columbia and other states. We charge nothing for our services and all repeaters are open for any licensed ham to use to use under our terms of service.

We operate 3 c-Bridges using 3 Washington data centers and more than 75 repeaters, 9 MMDVM servers, 2 Echo Servers and various backend support operations in multiple data centers. We also maintain a SMS and APRS-D server. We have affiliation with neighboring DMR Groups and share talkgroups with other c-Bridges and the Brandmeister network.
