Inga Muste YL3IMWhat is that handoff thingy? Please ELI5. 😊
with multiple talkgroups subscribed on a repeater slot, only last (active via rf) talkgroup gets traffic from network for a configured time period (it's a littl bit more complicated than that but most people care about rf activity so..)
Hello everyone,
I have a quick question regarding the BrandMeister SelfCare account activation.
I submitted my registration on Saturday, but I haven’t received any update yet. Does anyone have experience with how long the activation process usually takes?
I completely understand that BrandMeister is run by volunteers, and I really appreciate the time and effort everyone puts into keeping the network running. I’m just wondering whether it’s normal to wait a few days, or if I should check whether there might be an issue with my request.
Thank you very much for your help, and thanks again to everyone who contributes their time to the project!

Stefan Saraevhandoff > 60sec is nonsense. default is 15s, some masters set to 30s, 180s on your master is already too high
Sorry, but I don't understand. Can you explain better? On BM222, handoff only works on RF signals and not on those coming from the network. If I make a call on a repeater where there are multiple static TG and, for example, IK2EAE from another repeater answers with a 20-second message, when he stops talking on my repeater, he is no longer a priority. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
The Hand-Off issue doesn't concern those who use the app or hot spots and repeaters that have static TGs. Hand-Off is an important setting for those who use repeaters with many static TGs or use on-demand TGs on these. A low time and a quick return to NO-PRIORITY make it difficult and sometimes impossible to conduct regular QSOs.
Stefan Saraevthere is no such thing as "priorities".
Priority is a concept to simply understand Hand-Off. The TG requested on demand when there is a 180-s Hand-Off has priority over other static TGs for 180 s.
