DMR Bootcamp: The ADHD-Friendly 5-Day Sprint
For Technicians Who Learn by DOING
? Course Mission: Build & Break DMR Systems
Forget boring lectures. This is a hands-on mission where you’ll build real DMR systems, find what breaks them, and fix them. Each day is packed with quick wins and tangible results.
Your Toolkit: Each student gets a “DMR Lab Kit” – radios, cables, antennas – to build and test with all week.
? What You’ll Actually DO
- Day 1: Get radios talking in 30 minutes
- Day 2: Map signal coverage with real tools
- Day 3: Build a multi-site network that actually works
- Day 4: Hunt down and fix real system failures
- Day 5: Design and present your ultimate DMR system
