1.0 CAPABILITIES OF THE NANO-DV PERSONAL HOTSPOT The Nano-DV is a small stand alone personal hotspot that allows linking with D-STAR DCS, XRF, REF, DMR as well as Fusion C4FM, APCO-P25 and dPMR reflectors. Nano-DV is a complete Plug and Play embedded solution that only requires an internet connection (Wired CAT5 or WiFi) and a 5VDC@500ma maximum power source.
Motorola repeaters have installed the appropriate software they can also be reached. DMR reflectors have numbers in the range of 4000 to 5000, each region has its own reflector which can be selected in the Nano-DV menu. Nano - DV User Manual...

C4FM -Fusion reflectors are named FCS001 etc. All Nano-DV's connected to a reflector can hear each other. It is very easy to connect a C4FM-Fusion repeater to the FCS reflector system. Just put a Nano-DV next to the repeater and enter the reverse RX/TX frequencies. dPMR dPMR is a system adopted by the ETSI (the European Telecommunications Standards Institute) and developed into a European Standard.
(mostly English speaking ones like USA, UK and Canada). D-Plus reflectors are named REF001, REF002 etc. They also use a number of ports allowing for simultaneous QSOs. Nano - DV User Manual Micro-Node International...

Two nets exist, One based on Hytera and the other based on Motorola technology. The Hytera network is open and friendly to Ham Radio operators using the Nano-DV hotspot. The DMR-MARC network by design will ONLY allow Motorola repeaters to connect because of the proprietary IPSEC that Motorola has that lets the repeaters communicate through the C-bridges.
DMR-ID. It could be changed manually if needed. If there are pending software updates available for the Nano-DV there will be a message in lettering just above the Write and Read buttons on the configuration screen below.

If you entered your DMR/CCS7 ID your call sign will be automatically loaded from the DMR database along with the letter D designator. If you have several Nano-DV hotspots then a different letter must be used for each node. If you entered your DMR/CCS7 ID your QTH will be automatically loaded from the DMR database.
