In this video we will build a PiStar out of a Raspberry Pi Zero W and an MMDVM (Multi Mode Digital Voice Modem) that will act as a ham radio repeater supporting a multitude of digital modes and utilizing the internet as a leg in the communications path. Ultimately, this allows us to use a low range handheld transceiver to communicate with other ham operators all over the world.
The PiStar supports multiple ham radio digital modes including D-Star, YSF, P25, DMR, Pocsag, and more!
