Hi Ricsi,

Excellent!  That's good to hear.  I'm starting to shop around for parts and
would prefer to build a 2 timeslot version.  I'm looking to build something I
could carry around with me and connect to my phone's wifi hotspot, and run off
a rechargeable battery.  I have a TYT MD380 I use as my primary and I have
couple Baofengs, but no DMR capable ones, to use as backup if needed - mainly
got those to mess around with because they were dirt cheap.  No base station or
vehicle radio yet.

I'll keep you posted what I come up with!

Thanks for the info!
Erich
