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 the DMR Tech Net team & a great team of volunteers! Monday night, Dustin N8RMA will be Net Control for the Michigan One DMR net.
