As far as I know, both DMR+ and BM support private calls. Technically, you don't need a hotspot for that, but if you use a repeater you'll hog a TS for that 1-on-1 chat. Seems kinda rude. ;)

Well, there's still Ohio Link. Did some digging and it looks like it is bridged to BM on TG 31399.

So... What's going on, @guy.dev? Looks like you still haven't been QRV on the BM network. Need help? ;)

Chess players in Warsaw, in June 2022 for Pixel Heaven conference. (In the garden of Proces Kawki café) I did this watercolor for a Galerie Maeght show in Paris last February, based on a rough sketch in my sketchbook, and my memory of the scene, which touched me for many reasons.

Don't think it matters; go for it! As time passes the old thing becomes new again. Calvin and Hobbes ended 30 years ago. Bet a lot of people enjoying your comics haven't read Calvin and Hobbes.

That might work. Not sure if the information I found is accurate/up-to-date, but supposedly Ohio Link is also linked to YSF ref 40838 and BM TG 31399.

Dennis "D.C." Dietrich @dcdietrich.bsky.social · 09/01/2026
Yeah, I know how it goes. What about other DV modes like D-Star or YSF? With the m1ke I can easily connect to any of those TGs/refs as well (I think, haven't had a chance to set it up yet).
110
Dennis "D.C." Dietrich @dcdietrich.bsky.social · 07/01/2026
Agreed, it's a bit pricey. But, I'm not aware of any alternatives. The closest thing I know of is the DVMEGA Cast and that isn't much cheaper (also needs a mic and power supply). Though, the real reason I went for the m1ke: The Cast somehow doesn't fit in my pocket. ;)

Since a lot of people are oversharing online these days, maybe it's just a matter of scraping social media in most cases. No need to even ask if the information is publicly available.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
