Jeff Hochberg (pronounced HocK-bUrg) (W4JEW) lives in Atlanta, GA.  He is a network security professional and has been a licensed amateur radio operator since  May 2015  He earned his General Class license in October 2016 and became W4JEW in July 2018. Since he was little, Jeff dreamt of having his own Motorola radio.  As soon as he found out DMR would allow him to fulfill his dream, he jumped at the chance and has been fully immersed in it ever since!  Jeff operates a c-Bridge-based DMR network, Ham Digital (https://cbridge.hamdigital.net), and is well-versed in DMR technology in the ham radio world.  He is passionate about educating and helping others. Jeff and Bill (KB4KFT) started the Georgia DMR (now Georgia Digital) net in November 2019.

Forum Description:  Demystifying DMR Codeplug Programming isn’t a run-of-the-mill step-by-step presentation on programming a DMR radio. Jeff is a firm believer in learning through examples.

The presentation is designed to get attendees on a level playing field through a sample use case to help illustrate how DMR is used in real-world scenarios. We’ll spend a little time on how DMR networks work and then review practical examples and best practices for programming a DMR radio.

There will also be a Q&A session with Bob (K4CQO) and Mark (KN4TOD), followed by a codeplug programming workshop.

Workshop to follow the Forum:  Bring your DMR radio, laptop, programming cable, and CPS (Customer Programming Software – not Codeplug Programming Software). Jeff, Bob, and Mark will take you through the basics of programming a radio to access a local repeater and a hotspot.
