POCSAG?

Pi-star can transmit pocsag (old school pagers). Can OpenGD77 in hotspot mode transmit pocsag or just DMR voice? Our ARES team is looking into options for activation where people cannot access phones / radios while at work, etc. Many radios will transmit two tone paging tones, but the pagers are 3x the cost of pocsag.

Unfortunately not, Hotspot mode only supports DMR. There is no direct audio connection to the CPU so it is not possible to support other modes.

Thanks,

I suspected this but figured I'd ask... still interested in this project, just won't help with the use case we are trying to solve :-)...

Thanks for the quick response!
