“I have put together a couple Pr-star hotspots for DMR. These seem to be more available than the Zero W. They are much faster than a zero, but a different form factor and more expensive, but IMO worth it. I also get an ethernet and usb hub that makes the set up much easier.”
“Pimoroni is the most consistent source of this scarce resource. It has the punch needed with a thinner form factor to fit into tight spaces for your projects.”
