ℹ️ This is a theoretical system based on Colorado Front Range ham communities. These organizations are examples and have not (yet) expressed interest in utilizing or helping construct FR-DPCN.

DPCN networks do not discriminate or exclude. Hams of all races, religions, ethnicities, orientations, and identities are welcome.

Any Technician class (entry level) or above can use DPCN. Local systems can vary but will tend to be in the 70cm/440MHz band.

Frequently Asked Questions

This code of conduct applies to all users of any DPCN system. Most of it is either common sense or simply being a good person, but there are a few unique gotchas.

• What is DMR?

• How do hams use it?

• What makes DPCN different from existing DMR networks?

DPCN’s mission is to provide advanced infrastructure support to amateur radio organizations and individuals.

DPCN systems offload local one-on-one communications from other radio networks in order to free up resources on more mission-critical systems.

501(c)(3) status (coming soon) means donations are tax deductible. Contact us if you wish to make a large donation.

DPCN utilizes trunked digital radio, which allows for more efficient use of available spectrum and equipment.

Configuring an ever-changing digital radio system can become unmanageable without a plan. Let’s apply some software engineering best practices to managing DPCN system configurations.

Building digital radio voice networks with great coverage must account for human psychology, lest the network should go to waste.

One of the challenges with amateur radio is finding a repeater that works where you are, where you were, and where you’re going.

Some folks may complain that digital trunking systems exclude them from talking. That decision is up to the repeater owners, and DPCN runs an open system.¹

The limiting factor is whether they have compatible gear.

Phil will be presenting at NerdFest! The topic is “DMR Efficiency via Controllerless Trunking.”

The location is at Cherry Creek Schools and it starts at 08:00 on Saturday, February 15.

Here are the slides from NerdFest. The group was quite responsive and smart, too. Frequently the questions were at least one step ahead.
