RFinder has worked with the DMR network Brandmeister to create new usability enhancements. The new dashboard just released includes coverage maps generated by RFinder using CloudRF technology created by Alex M6ZUJ…
These maps get generated in real-time as BrandMeister repeaters get added to the system and Sysops add coordinate information to their repeater listings.
RFinder now includes a daily data feed from BrandMeister. This includes repeaters and talkgroups. DMR machines are now categorized in RFinder by the network they are on…ie DMR/BM and DMR/MARC, etc. RFinder’s apps on Android and iOS and web.rfinder.net/routes.rfinder.net now are the easiest way to find BrandMeister machines worldwide.
RFinder’s new Android DMR Radios (http://androiddmr.com) take advantage of BrandMeister technologies by providing a point an click real-time programming function in the RFinder Android Radio H1. There is also a new DMR hotspot function to allow easy point and click programming…this can be seen on RFinder’s videos on YouTube…https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=RFinder+DMR .
These features will be included in the new RFinder Android Radios being released in time for Christmas, the M1 and P12 as well as the H1x models. We will have availabilty on the new models in early december

The RFinder team has been excited to work with BrandMeister. BrandMeister’s strong and flexible architecture empowers users of their system,” says Bob Greenberg, W2CYK, creator of RFinder. “Brandmeister’s power and flexibility has provided several epiphany moments that have driven new capabilities into the RFinder Android Radios.”
“RFinder’s mashing up technologies from its new Android DMR Radio and BrandMeister is a real game changer, “ says Rudy, PD0ZRY developer in the BrandMeister team…”Point and click DMR is a revolutionary step in DMR development for the Amateur Community.”
