Helitron DV4mini USB stick installation and setup Please Like / Share this page with your friends The links below are download links: Latest release version is: 25th September 2015 Latest Beta version is: 12th January 2015
The problem with version 1.64 has now been fixed, you need to re download the 21th November beta version or later. Don't forget that you also need to download latest firmware and upload to DV4mini via the FW Update tab. The support for DPlus REF Reflectors is updated, this fixes dropout problems. The quality of data coming from DPlus reflectors is measured and displayed since we found that about 2 to 3% of all voice frames are missing. These missing frames are replaced with silence frames. DV4mini is a tiny but powerful USB stick that can change any PC into a HOTSPOT for the modes D-Star, DMR (C4FM Fusion) and now DPMR. It contains a powerful 32-bit micro controller as well as a complete 70cm transceiver and modulator/demodulator for GMSK and 4FSK (including raised cosine) as well as a USB interface. It does not require its own power supply as it is powered through the USB interface. Thanks to a power saving voltage transformer even older USB interfaces will suffice.Uses a comprehensive but simple to use software package which allows for the linking with DCS reflectors for both D-Star and DMR reflectors. But remember on DMR that this will not get you into the DMR Marc network, it will only get you into the DMR plus"Hytera" network for now. To access the BrandMeister network you will need a modified copy of the software. I am going to be testing this in my work truck with both Icom 5100 Dstar and Hytera MD785 DMR radios for when I am not in coverage of a repeater as I travel around the UK. What is needed 1.
