Hamspot 5: Duplex MMDVM Hotspot with Raspberry Pi 5
DMR • YSF • D-STAR • P25 • NXDN | Dual Band | Full Duplex | WPSD
The Hamspot 5 is a full duplex, dual band digital voice hotspot built on the Raspberry Pi 5, the fastest Raspberry Pi ever made. It boots fast, loads the dashboard fast, and runs cool under its heatsink and fan. It comes with the latest WPSD software and is built, tested, and supported by a ham in the USA.
Why the Hamspot 5 stands out
Raspberry Pi 5 power. Most hotspots still run on a Pi Zero. The Hamspot 5 uses the Raspberry Pi 5, so the WPSD dashboard is quick, changes apply faster, and updates take far less time.
Active cooling. A heatsink and fan keep the Pi 5 cool, so the hotspot stays stable when it runs around the clock.
True full duplex. With separate transmit and receive, the Hamspot 5 works like a mini digital repeater. You can monitor two talkgroups at once, or change talkgroups and rooms while someone else is still transmitting.
Exclusive power button. Only the Hamspot has one. A single press shuts the hotspot down safely, with no need to log in to the WPSD power menu and no corrupted SD cards from pulling the plug.
Latest WPSD (Trixie). The newest WPSD release comes installed and ready to go.

What does a duplex hotspot do for you?
A simplex hotspot can only listen or talk, one at a time. If a talkgroup is busy, you wait. A duplex hotspot transmits and receives at the same time, like a repeater, which means you can:
- Monitor two talkgroups or rooms at once
- Switch talkgroups or rooms mid-transmission, without waiting for the other station to unkey
