Troubleshooting BrandMeister DMR Connections

A question I don't get asked often enough is "how can I troubleshoot the source of issues on DMR". Most of the time operators just assume the issue is with the "other person" but today most DMR networks give us plenty of tools to run down the issue ourselves.  Hopefully this article can help instruct some people to do just that.

What this guide will cover:

  • How to identify where you should be looking to resolve common problems on DMR
  • How to use resources specific to DMR to resolve common problems

What this guide will NOT cover:

  • Issues with your codeplug programming (e.g. incorrect color code, frequency)
  • Basic ham radio troubleshooting (e.g. radio battery dead, water in feedline etc)
