Important message for Brandmeister USA hams using a Radio ID starting with 1
The Brandmeister DMR platform is a constantly evolving system, requiring regular optimizations and maintenance to ensure its efficiency, reliability, and alignment with global open standards.
As part of these ongoing efforts, we are addressing an issue that arose seven years ago regarding the assignment of improperly numbered Radio IDs. As announced at that time, Brandmeister stopped importing invalid Radio IDs and requested that hams with such numbers obtain a new, properly formatted Radio ID.
To facilitate operations, scripting, and automation on Brandmeister, we are now starting the complete removal of Radio IDs that do not comply with the internationally recognized MCC (Mobile Country Code) numbering system.
If you currently have a device connecting to Brandmeister with a Radio ID starting with the digit “1”, please read the following carefully:
- 7-digit personal radio IDs starting with 1 (such as 1030512) will stop working on Brandmeister after January 1st 2026. If it is inactive for more than a couple of months, it will be purged sooner.
- 6-digit repeater radio IDs starting with 1 (such as 102765): while we don’t have a set date for deprovisioning these IDs, we are urging the sysop to migrate to a 31xxxx ID as soon as possible. If the repeater is offline for an extended period of time, it will be purged and will require a new properly formatted ID to re-connect.
- 5-digit CAP+ IDs will stop working on Brandmeister by June 1st 2025.
