Peter, our open MMDVM server is available to the Ham public.

UPDATE: Peter may be dropped from our server list due to essentially no use and other links are now available that further reduces the usefulness of this server.

UPDATE: PNWD is developing a MMDVM server that supports EmComm and Public Services organizations. Membership in PNWDigital will not be required.

This server allows a method to use an internal PNWDigital server without the need nor overhead to gain limited access to our DMR network. It is useful for testing of hotspot set-up as well as access to a few of our internal talkgroups that are not available via Brandmeister or other DMR networks.

It also allows access to our popular Nets when those nets use an internal talkgroup such as Cascades 1 or Washington 2. Peter may carry various nets from time to time.  Turn on your promiscuous mode to listen in. Check our CallWatch to see the activity on our network.

If you ARE member of PNWDigital, then you are welcome to access our wider list of MMDVM servers with custom talkgroup decks.

Server Settings for Peter (MMDVM Server located in Vancouver)

  • Server: peter.pnwdigital.org
  • Server UDP: 55555
  • Password: passw0rd
  • Connector:  HotSpot/MMDVM
  • Protocol: MMDVM
  • Terms of Use – your use of our open server requires you for follow our minimal rules: pnwdigital.net/mmdvm/#mmdvmtou

When setting up an openSPOT, be sure to have the “advanced mode” checkbox checked so that you can enter the server IP and UDP port into the fields and then click Add Server. Do NOT enable “Use DMRplus options”.

While Peter is a public portal, PNWDigital.Net also has a number of member portals with more extensive talkgroup decks.  We currently have 9 MMDVM servers with varying talkgroup decks and purposes.  2 of those servers are designed to support 2 slot repeaters and hotspots.This particular project has been in the works for months but is based on the great work of multiple folks going back 6 years or so.  All software is open-sourced and available on GitHub by Cort, N0MJS and his crew of supporters.  Also kudos to and for the fine assistance of Corey N3FE, one of the USA Brandmeister admins who initially shepherded our efforts at PNWDigital.Net.  Also to Vance, W6SS for being the one who coded the installation script (still used by our new use of Docker) and explained how it worked, which is instrumental to enabling Linux neophytes to be able to install and manage their own MMDVM projects. And finally to Dylan KI7SBI, who put this project inside a Docker file to enable multiple MMDVM servers to reside on a single VM.The partner programs used are:  dmr_utilsdmrlink, hblink and Docker.Please see our install page for more on how to deploy your own server
