Although it will accept Hytera and Motorola formats, we recommend users use “DMR Standard SMS messages” if at all possible, because it’s the closest we have to a common standard
Individual user/DMR ID APRS settings.
By default, all APRS positions will have an SSID of 15, a default comment, with the callsign and ID of the DMR user. These default settings can be changed
The comment, SSID, and icon can be set for each individual user/DMR ID the application sees. The application stores all the setting in a file. You may have different SSIDs, icons, and comments for different DMR IDs. This is done via DMR SMS using the following commands:
*See (http://aprs.net/vm/DOS/SYMBOLS.HTM) for icon list
Send a DMR SMS to the configured DMR_DATA_ID in the application with the desired command followed by the value. For example, to change your icon to a dog, the command would be @ICON /p (see the icon table for values). Changing your SSID is as simple as @SSID 7, and @COM Testing 123 will change the comment
To remove any of the stored values, just send the appropriate command without any input. @COM will remove the stored comment, @ICON will remove the stored icon. Any position now reports sent will have the default settings
You need to do the above for each DMR ID you use on OZ-DMR.NETWORK. All Commands above send via SMS message to 900999
As OZ-DMR.NETWORK / FreeDMR is a relatively new network with development moving quickly, we are making advances in many areas. This include testing radio’s and their function and making them compatible with OZ-DMR.NETWORK
