PVRA DMR Brandmeister Network Repeaters

These repeaters are on the Brandmeister Network. Which employs a totally different concept than what we have been used to, an OPEN concept. Unlike other DMR systems, all talk groups go out across the entire network, except for the LOCAL (TG9).

Torrington, CT, W1HDN, Frequency 441.550 +5.00
Vernon, CT, AA1HD, Frequency 440.8625 +5.00

Programming Rules for these repeaters are fairly simple.
ALL Talk Groups use Color Code 1
ONLY the following Talk Groups are to be programmed to Time Slot 2:

#9 for Local

#3109 for Connecticut State Wide (requires PTT to activate)
 
#31093 PVRA Talk Group.  This TG is STATIC, meaning it is active across all PVRA Brandmeister repeaters fulltime

The following can be used in either Time Slot:

 #9990 or #310997 Parrot

ALL others MUST use Time slot 1!


TG9998 is NOT a valid TG for the Brandmeister system. Please refrain from using it for Parrot.
