Repeater Reservation for Holiday Cruise Dec. 3

The PSRG repeater system will be reserved on December 3 from 1400 to 1800 for the Emergency Management Group-Washington (EMGWA) Holiday Cruise. This time slot does not interfere with any of our net activity and we have a long history of support for this program and it has been approved once again for this year.

Ron Zuber N4RDZ will act as net control at South Lake Union.  If you are interested in getting involved, contact Lisa Courneya at: lcourneya@emgwa.org

Information about EMGWA can be found at EMGWA.org.

November PSRG Educational Meeting video: Development of the MMDVM and the Modes that it Supports

UPDATE The PSRG Educational meeting held on November 18 was recorded and is available for viewing on the Educational Presentations page.

The program was given by Jonathan G4KLX, a core contributor to MMDVM and the mind (and coder) behind MMDVM Host. MMDVM stands for Multi Mode Digital Voice Modem, and it’s an open-source framework (both hardware and software) that serves as a gateway to DMR, DSTAR, YSF, P25, and NXDN, all in one place. The program will cover the digital voice modes that the MMDVM supports and the strengths and weaknesses of each. Each mode brings something special to the table and this usually has to be handled by the MMDVM to make maximum use of them.

Board Policy on Site Accessibility

Although we are currently reviewing the site to make it as accessible as possible, it is hard for those without particular limitations to anticipate what problems users might have in accessing parts of the site. If you notice something that could be an obstacle, please let us know. Contact webmaster@psrg.org.

Board Policy on Gatherings

In light of the uncertainty about when large group gatherings will be safe again, it is not a good use of volunteer time to plan for our normal events. Board Meetings and Educational Meetings will be held online until further notice. (This policy was renewed at the August 14, 2021 board meeting.)
