DMR BrandMeister setup APRS on a Motorola

Step 1: Go to the dstar.su self-care web page https://www.dstar.su/selfcare/ and register. Once you are on the main self-care page, select Ham DMR. They need to know your radio brand, position reporting interval, desired SSID to go with your call sign, APRS symbol, and DMR Radio ID. If you are not experienced with APRS, we suggest an interval no less than every 3 minutes and just your call sign without dash anything.

Each DMR radio vendor has their own format for GPS position reporting. This is not an issue for Motorola, Hytera, and Tytera GPS-equipped radios because BrandMeister can pass your report to the dstar.su server for formatting and transfer to APRS. Step 1 is common to all three brands, setting up your call sign, SSID, and symbol that you want to appear on APRS.

Step 2 - 9 for Motorola:
The screen shots below are from an XPR5550 or XPR7550 with working DMR to APRS position reporting.

  • We suggest configuring one of your soft buttons as GPS on/off. In addition to giving you the ability to turn off position reporting, this helps control battery life reduction caused by an active GPS receiver.
  • In the Motorola CPS, in General Settings, GPS box is checked.
  • In Network, Services, ARS Radio ID: 310999
  • In every channel page where you want GPS Position reporting to work:
-------------UDP Header Compression: DMR Standard
-------------Text Message Type: DMR Standard
-------------ARS: On System/Site Change
  • In the roam list, in every channel, GPS, ARS: On System/Site Change
