== Meshtastic Setup ==
Use the following parameters to join both the default and toorcamp channels. You will need a 915mhz Meshtastic device to participate.
;Channel 0 (Primary)
: Name:
: PSK: AQ==
: Uplink: DISABLED
: Downlink: DISABLED
: Role: CLIENT
: Modem Preset: LONG_FAST
: Region: US
: Hop Limit: 3

'''Note''': The default primary channel name is blank, please leave it that way so you end up on the right frequency!
'''Note2''': Updated the Toorcamp channel preset to LONG_FAST as you can't have multiple modem presets configured. LONG_FAST will ensure interoperation with all default-configured units.

Black Lodge Research DMR Repeater

Black Lodge Research will be providing a DMR Repeater and is inviting any campers to use.

See details in the table above

We have set aside two talkgroups, both on Timeslot 2.

  • TG 69420 - BLR General. General camp talk.
  • TG 42069 - BLR HAX. Experimentation and fun.

Timeslot 1 is reserved for BLR Camp Operations, please be kind.

If you’re interested stop by the BLR Village. We’ll be hacking on the repeater all weekend.

DBS's Repeater with Shadytel Autopatch

444.975MHZ, Positive Offset 449.975 PL Tone 123.0hz

To dial a shadytel number

  • Dial *0001#
  • Wait for Ack
  • Dial *0001#0015#(shadytel pstn)#

To activate the repeater from a shadytel phone

  • Dial 3418
  • It will ring once and be silent
  • Dial *0001#0005#

Digital Modes

For digital modes, fldigi is recommended. Since multiple modes will be employed, use of Reed-Solomon Identification (RSID) is recommended. In fldigi this is labeled "RXID" and "TXID" in the upper-right portion of the display.
