Services

Each job is set up and tested on our bench before it goes back to you.

Radio programming

Send us your radios and frequency list, and they come back programmed and tested.

  • Channels, tones, and zones set up to your plan
  • Local repeaters and frequencies loaded for your area
  • Code plugs saved so changes are quick later

AllStarLink nodes

Complete AllStarLink nodes on a Raspberry Pi, connected to the network and ready to use.

  • Node builds and AllStarLink setup
  • Audio levels and keying tuned on the bench
  • Our own node board is in development

Pi-Star nodes

Digital voice hotspots built on Pi-Star, so you can reach DMR, D-STAR, and System Fusion networks from home.

  • Hotspot builds and Pi-Star setup
  • Network and talkgroup configuration

Our AllStarLink node board

We're designing a board that turns a Raspberry Pi 4B into a complete AllStarLink node. It has a UHF transceiver, USB audio, keying, and an antenna connector, so you don't need a separate radio or interface cable. A VHF version will follow.

  • Schematic, done and passing electrical rules checks
  • 4-layer PCB layout, done and passing design rules checks
  • First prototypes, up next
  • On-air testing, then release

About MultiWave Digital Labs

MultiWave Digital Labs is a radio shop in Mineral, Virginia. We program radios, build network nodes, and design our own amateur radio hardware.

Every job is handled by Adam (NU7E) and Robert (W7CTY). We program your radio, build and configure your AllStarLink or Pi-Star node, and design and build our own node hardware. We're licensed amateur radio operators who run these same systems on the air ourselves, so we set yours up the way we'd want it for our own station.
