Selfcare

Selfcare: Time Slot 1, Time Slot 2, Add Talkgroup, Functions
  1. Log the hotspot into the master first (it should show on the dashboard).
  2. In WPSD DMR Options set PASS= to a secret you choose (6+ characters). That is the Selfcare password — not passw0rd.
  3. Open dmr.cumbriacq.com → Selfcare.
  4. Sign in with your callsign or DMR ID.
  5. Under Time Slot 1 / Time Slot 2 highlight talkgroups then Add selected. Red X removes it.

A simple start: TS2 = 89134. Park extras on TS1. Apply, then wait for the hotspot to reconnect.

Radio

  1. Create a Group Call contact for Cumbria CQ (89134, or 9089134 on the repeaters). Add others from the Talkgroups list.
  2. Put them in an RX group list.
  3. Hotspot channel: colour code 1, TS2, contact 89134.
  4. On GB3WU, GB7PG or GB3CU use the prefix-9 numbers (Cumbria CQ = 9089134).
