DMR SMS on Retevis RT3S
Recently I decided to check out the SMS feature of DMR using my Retevis RT3S. I received reasonable success via Brandmeister using both my hotspot and local repeater (GB7PL). You can use SMS to either reach other amateurs, use services baked into Brandmeister, or send SMS to a mobile phone number with varying success…
Brandmeister SMS Services
WX
Send a message to 262993 with the message “wx” to return current weather conditions for the location listed for the repeater/hotspot in Brandmeister dashboard.
You may also request WX for a specific city by sending “wx <City>, <ISO Country Code>” for example “wx Sydney, AU” or “wx Moscow, RU”.
METAR
In a similar fashion you may request the recent METAR for a given airport ICAO code. Send an SMS to 262993 with the message “metar <Airport ICAO Caode>”, e.g. “metar EGKK” for Gatwick Airport.
Query Repeater
You can request a list of static and dynamically linked talk groups from your current repeater or hotspot by sending a message containing “rpt” to 262994.
