Second Cup DMR Talk Group 31288
Many of Our Coffee Shop members like to hang out on DMR TalkGroup 31288 on the Brandmeister DMR network. The Talk Group is open to All HAMS who desire to hang out just like on a local repeater, but with the benefit of World Wide coverage.
You will need a Brandmeister ID to talk on DMR. See the DMR links section below for the link to RadioID if you don’t already have a Brandmeister ID.
