This is such a complex radio so i was wondering i somebody would be kind enough to give me some help with setting it it up with my own hotspot please??

Im using the shark openspot mrk 1 so would really apretiate some help please?

Wayne set the open spot on a frequency that allows operation of hotspot around 434.135 I think but check with the band plans.
So go to the modem tab on the open spots browser and set the frequency and put it in dstar....
Go to the connector tab page set frequency again to the same one as the modem, and input call sign where needed.
Also set the radio set on the same frequency, Dstar is the easiest to do trust me
If the open spot is near the radio set tx low and preferably run the radio into a dummy load near the openspot.
Great little gadget any issues let me know and join the shark forum loads of info on there that helped me.
If you really get swamped let me know we can run it through on the blower.

Don't sweat it you'll work it....have another go at it, this video actually got me going.
Report back here and let me know how things go.

Im sorted chaps thanks for the help and advice..

Ok Wayne I didn't receive a call mate or if I did no voicemail but as long as you have it working good.

Hi mate thanks for the offer if i need you ill get in touch but thought id have a good try myself first mate.

No worries Wayne glad you got it working, I've just got a new ft2d as Yaesu have released new software to use it as a direct entry to wires X and a standalone node access point so that's my next faff.
The openspot is a good little gadget providing you get it on a stable connection like most hot spots. I've seen so many ops blame hotspots for poor access when it's a internet issue.
Another point Wayne mine used to be in another room not the shack and I ended up buying a vonets internet bridge meaning I could bring the hotspot in the shack and turn everything to bare minimum tx pwr and use a dummy load for the radio as the openspot is a foot away.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the openspot it fills the voids HF and local rag chewing have and some days gets more use.

Hi mate yes my openspot is down stair and i need to bring it up stairs so how do these internet bridges work? is there a particular type i would need for my openspot mate??

This worked for me Wayne

All you need to do is Wang it on your PC first and tell it to use your WiFi then plug ethernet end into hotspot and power it with a feed I use a iPhone plug
