Quick Call

The quick call feature is available when the Homebrew/MMDVM® connector is active.

Reflector and talkgroup linking (and unlinking) is done by the network, not the M1KE. The M1KE has to make quick calls to link or unlink talkgroups and reflectors.

Note

A quick call is the same as pressing PTT for a short time (kerchunking). These empty calls will also show up on the BrandMeister Network’s dashboard.

Starting a short private call to a reflector ID (between 4000 and 5000) will link the reflector. Starting a short group call to a talkgroup ID will link that TG. On the BrandMeister Network, reflectors are unlinked by starting a private call to ID 4000, and both reflectors and talkgroups are unlinked by starting a group call to ID 4000.

Quick call shortcuts can be stored in the M1KE’s current configuration profile. If you hover the mouse cursor over a saved talkgroup’s button, or the button is pressed for a few seconds then the talkgroup’s name will appear.

If the Auto group call 4000 before shortcut call checkbox is checked, then the device will automatically start a quick call to TG4000 to make the server unlink everything before quick calling the desired ID.

You can also perform (and edit) quick calls on the device display.
