Join us Monday, October 30th on Brandmeister talk group 3126 from 7:45pm ET – 8:30pm ET for the DMR Tech Net.
We will be discussing talk groups. As in, what talk groups do you use, and why? Which talk groups do you enjoy listening to? Which talk groups are in your code plug? What networks are your talk groups part of? What other nets do you participate in? Let us know on the DMR Tech Net!

The DMR Tech Net starts at 7:45pm ET on Brandmeister Talk Group 3126 (statewide Michigan) and runs until 8:30pm ET.
Stay on TG-3126 to join the Michigan One DMR net (the longest running Michigan DMR net) at 8:30pm, hosted by Dustin N8RMA.
We are branching out to the TGIF network. The DMR Tech Net team has our own TGIF talk group 31268 that you are welcome to use. We’ll leave the lights on and best of all, there is no 10-minute limit!

Upcoming DMR Tech Net topics
Monday, October 30, 2023 from 7:45pm ET – 8:30pm ET on Brandmeister’s DMR Talk Group 3126:
- What talk groups do you utilize, and why? Do you participate in other DMR nets? If so, what time, network, and talk group are they on?
Monday, November 6, 2023 from 7:45pm ET – 8:30pm ET on Brandmeister’s DMR Talk Group 3126:
- What are the Brandmeister rules for state talk groups? There is a 10-minute limit on Brandmeister’s state (4-digits, not 5-digits) talk groups. What about TAC channels? What rules should you follow? What about the rules for the TGIF network? We’ll go over our understanding of talk group etiquette and networks.
