Introducing the NANO-DV Hotspot from Micro-Node International The Nano-DV Hotspot is a complete Plug-N-Play solution for linking with D-STAR DCS, XRF and REF reflectors as well DMR, P25 and Fusion reflectors.

Looks like it's running the DV4mini software inside. A bit pricey compared to DV4mini alone but it is all in one little box with a display. Would be great for travel. I really enjoy the DV4mini. Mostly use it for P25 and D-Star but have used it on Fusion and DMR as well.
Interesting... after an announcement their website doesn't even mention the Nano-DV, only the Nano-Node. ...DOUG KD4MOJ
To me, being a User of the dv4mini Raspberry Pi combination, it looks like they put the dv4mini, a raspberry and a raspi display in a neat cabinet. which isn't that bad anyway. Most difficult in Amateur Radio homebrewing is finding or building a cabinet.....
Awesome piece of equipment. It is everything that Mark says in his introduction. Many of us have tried to mimic this little unit but have not found a solution to an "all encompassed package" where the dv4mini and the RPi are bundled together making less items to carry. This unit to go portable only requires a hotspot (being either your phone or a separate hotspot) and a battery just like one would use to charge a cell phone and then you are portable!!! I have used it portable on my 1 1/2 hour trip to work and then back and only had issues when I got surrounded by trucks or in low spots where cell coverage was not great. I applaud the work that Mark has done. It is first class and doesn't require the user to know Linux or how to program. Input your personal information into the unit and you are up and running in 5 minutes! Questions? My email is on my QRZ page. Jerry, KG5JBC
A fellow ham bought one at Dayton. It will NOT do XRF reflectors. An update to fix this was promised soon at point of sale but it is now almost dec and no update. He says he has reached out to the company on several occasions but no one has returned his inquiry. Since all we use up here is xrf he now has an unused expensive paperweight and no support to fix it. So buyer beware. The stated abilities are incorrect.
Have they fixed the XRF problem. Also, where can I find one to purchase? No info on web about sales or ordering
As did Wireless Holdings who made the DV4Mini. However, if you happen to have a DV4Mini you can get updated software for it at xreflector- http://www.xreflector.net/
Sorry to hear that. I had a Nano node and it was a good piece of gear. I sold it a few years back after I moved from an area where IRLP was more popular. Glad I did now I guess.
Has anyone a good number or email for Mark Guibord / K7IZA? I spoke to him about two months ago via phone. He agreed to repair two of my Nano Nodes. I sent them to him and have not heard a peep from him since. I have left dozens of voice mails and text messages. I tried to email him but it got kicked back. Not sure what his deal is but it stinks that he has several hundred dollars of my equipment and won't return a call or the nodes.
