Best Practices for DMR - Carter, KH6FV
Best Practices for DMR - Carter KH6FV.pdf
This is just an excerpt of that presentation. I received many thank you's from the audience indicating they have or had no idea of the impacts of utilizing wide-area TGs and I had some system owners and administrators who invited me to give a presentation at their club meetings. I do not want to be a DMR system traffic cop, only seek user education and comprehension of how the DMR system works. I point no finger at any one station, group, club or system, again just educating. I attached in the files section of this group a "Best Practices" PDF file you can refer as I continue.

I thought NORCAL DMR had a good definition of the term "Best Practices" and adopted it. I paraphrase a couple of main thoughts. DMR Best Practices... are responsibilities not codified in a set of rules; rather they are outlined in a set of principles and guides. Operators... should utilize the systems so that the minimum amounts of resources are used on each transmission. You can see NORCALs "Best Practices" document at the NORCAL Website. Thank you NORCAL, you guys ROCK
What is meant by Best Operating Practices? CAL DMR’s Definition
- DMR does not belong to one group, rather it is a network that belongs to all that use it. With this privilege come certain responsibilities. These responsibilities are not codified in a set of rules; rather they are outlined in a set of principles and guides for best practice.
- Operators should respect the intended usage of Talk Groups and utilize the systems so that the minimum amounts of resources are used on each transmission.
- Training, Mentoring, Understanding (user comprehension) is what leads to “best practices”!
Wide Area VS Local VS UA
- Wide Area TGs include those TGs
- That are on available on a network or repeater 24/7 and cover wide areas
- including World Wide, Continent Wide, Nation Wide, Regional Wide
- Could even include State Wide in those states with a lot of repeaters
- Local TGs
Can be that repeater, or a group of repeaters on a town or city
