FCDMR Repeaters have moved to Brandmeister Network
Good Morning,
The First Coast DMR Repeaters are have all moved from the DMR-MARC System to the Brandmeister Network. This has opened up a whole new DMR world for our users.
You can connect to the hoseline, and listen in on Talkgroups as well. With hoseline you can listen to any active TG. Its kinda like a heard list–It populates as TG’s are keyed up, and you just click on that TG number and your listening to it.
Using Brandmeister, anyone with the 3rd party devices, (DV4MINI, Shark RF, OpenSpot, etc) will be able to connect and talk with us. When you travel out of the area, you can connect to the local repeater from anywhere and chat — The benefits are real!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the repeater owners.
Here is a sample 16 channel local lineup (based on the Kingsland Repeater). (Click here for codeplugs for the most popular radios that are being used)

Hi Dave, I also have a CS700 and I have not found a code plug for it. Would you mind sharing your code plug with me? I live in Jacksonville FL. and my email is kf4eok@gmail.com
Thanks
Daniel, My codeplug was updated for the BM network by Thom,KF4I who has the repeater I’m using in Palm Coast. He changed FCDMR, FL, GA, USA 3100 and I think TAC310 and TAC311 to get me on the air with the Brandmeister change. I have all the JAX dmr repeaters in it but they do not have the changes for the BM network. Thom is going to rewrite my codeplug for all the FCDMR repeaters. So really as the way it’s programmed, the Palm Coast repeater is the only one useable on BM.

Hi Dave, I have made a code plug for the Connect System CS700 that seems to be working ok. It will cover most of the east coast. You can find it here if you would like to try it out.

I want to say that it is in post #3 in the following link.

Daniel, Thanks for the reply and links. When I clicked on the link for the CS700 Brandmeister codeplug, Another tab opened but it’s a blank white page, nothing on it. The URL for the blank page is: http://www.kf4eok.com/forum/filedata/fetch?id=572 The link may be bad and not getting to the codeplug file. You can sent it directly to me at ka4txy@yahoo.com or ka4txy@gmail.com (either one is OK). Many thanks. Dave – KA4TXY Palm Coast
If you want, we can post it on the FCDMR site in the files directory for others to access as well.
DDaniel, that would be great to post the codeplug in the file section.
Dave
That would be great!
I emailed you the code plug.
Hi Dave, The reason for not being able to download the file is because you needed to be logged in to the forum to be able to download the file. I do not know why you didn’t get a notice telling you that when trying to download the file. I have changed the permission for guest users so that anyone can download the files now. Try to download the file again and let me know if you can get it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I would like to see you register on the forum and make some post if you would. Once you get the code plug check it out for any errors if you would and let me know if you find any. You can post the code file on the FCDMR site in the file section so that it may help everyone with a CS700.

Just noticed that the repeater IDs are reversed on the Kingsland sample code plug. 311228 is the Jax Beach site and 311230 is the downtown site.

UPDATE: here is new codeplug for the CS700. http://www.kf4eok.com/forum/forum/main-forum/bands-modes/dmr/255-code-plugs-for-the-connect-systems-cs700
Here is the g6amu code plug editor that I use to convert the TYT MD-380 and MD-390 codeplugs to be compatible with the CS700.
You can chose the radio model in the basic tab / radio model. This will allow you to import any MD380 / 390 codeplug and save it for a CS700. This is nice and easy.
MD380-390-CPE-65.zip
You can also find the g6amu codeplug editor here:

I hope this helps someone.
