 ====== A quick guide to setting up your pi-star as a DMR hotspot. ======
+====== This guide is badly out-of-date.  The current recommended hotspot software is WPSD, available at https://w0chp.radio/wpsd/ ======
 I recommend that you connect your pi-star using an Ethernet cable as I have had it disconnect from WiFi and need a power cycle to re-connect it.

-In the DMR Configuration, there are only 4 settings that we really need to be concerned with. From the top down, set the DMR Master to 'DMRGateway', and the BrandMeister Master to 'BM_2341_United_Kingdom'.  If you are in another country choose your own from the list, or if your country isn't listed, use a nearby one.  Set the 'DMR+ Master' to ' DMR+_IPSC2-PhoenixF', and set the 'DMR+ Network ESSID' to '02' You should ensure that 'BrandMeister Network Enable' and 'DMR+ Network Enable' are both on and that the DMR Colour Code near the bottom of the list is set to '1'.
