Frequencies

Repeaters

The Finnish repeater allocation has specific channels reserved for digital repeaters. Most of the FinDMR network repeaters use these specific channels but there are also some which do use old mixed-mode channels. More information about repeater locations and channels can be found from automatic.sral.fi -service.

Please set the following parameters in your DMR radio for proper repeater operations;

  • Admit Criteria: Please set to “Color Code (Free)”
  • In Call Criteria: Please set to “Follow Admit Criteria”

Please note that users should program their radios to transmit on the Repeater RX -frequency and listen on the Repeater TX -frequency

145 MHz repeaters

  • Repeater offset is -0,6 MHz
  • Channel width 12,5 kHz
  • Common Color Code is 1
Channel number Repeater TX Repeater RX
V1 145.5750 MHz 144.9750 MHz
V2 145.5875 MHz 144.9875 MHz

434 MHz repeaters

  • Repeater offset is -2,0 MHz
  • Channel width 12,5 kHz
  • Common Color Code is 1
Channel number Repeater TX Repeater RX
U0 434.5000 MHz 432.5000 MHz

Simplex / DMO

For direct communication on simplex frequencies, recommendation is to use TS1 with CC1.

Please set the following parameters to your radio for DMO operations;

  • Admit Criteria: Please set to “Always”
  • In Call Criteria: Please set to “TXI” or “Always”
TG number TG formal name Description
99 99 DMO Direct Mode Operations on simplex channel

434.425 MHz Simplex operations
434.4375 MHz Simplex operations
434.450 MHz Simplex operations

Hotspot operations

For hotspot operations on simplex frequencies, recommendation is to use an arbitrary CC between 11..15. Not CC1

Please configure the actual location of your hotspot to its configuration, the location is delivered to the Brandmeister Dashboard. Please observe other hotspots in your close vicinity and use different frequency and CC to avoid looping through the system!

Hotspot is not by default an licensed automatic station so it is not allowed to leave it on without direct supervision.

Please set the following parameters to your radio for hotspot operations;

  • Admit Criteria: Please set to “Color Code (Free)”
  • In Call Criteria: Please set to “Follow Admit Criteria”
Frequency Usage
144.850 MHz Hotspot operations
144.8625 MHz Hotspot operations

Duplex Hotspots

For duplex hotspot operations the frequencies 434.9875/432.9875, 434.9625/432.9625 and 434.9375/432.9375 can be used. Please check that the frequencies are free on your area.
