Important message for Brandmeister USA hams using a Radio ID starting with 1
The Brandmeister DMR platform is a constantly evolving system, requiring regular optimizations and maintenance to ensure its efficiency, reliability, and alignment with global open standards.
As part of these ongoing efforts, we are addressing an issue that arose seven years ago regarding the assignment of improperly numbered Radio IDs. As announced at that time, Brandmeister stopped importing invalid Radio IDs and requested that hams with such numbers obtain a new, properly formatted Radio ID.
To facilitate operations, scripting, and automation on Brandmeister, we are now starting the complete removal of Radio IDs that do not comply with the internationally recognized MCC (Mobile Country Code) numbering system.
If you currently have a device connecting to Brandmeister with a Radio ID starting with the digit “1”, please read the following carefully:
7-digit personal radio IDs starting with 1 (such as 1030512) will stop working on Brandmeister after January 1st 2026. If it is inactive for more than a couple of months, it will be purged sooner.
6-digit repeater radio IDs starting with 1 (such as 102765): while we don’t have a set date for deprovisionning these IDs, we are urging sysop to migrate to a 31xxxx ID as soon as possible. If the repeater is offline for an extended period of time, it will be purged and will require a new properly formatted ID to re-connect.
5-digit CAP+ IDs will stop working on Brandmeister by June 1st 2025.
IDs are issued by Radioid.net, if you have an ID starting with 1, you need to log into your RadioID account and open a ticket requesting that your ID number be replaced with one starting with 3
Jan 28th update: RadioID added a feature to automagically convert your 1xxxxxx (1n) ID to the 3xxxxxx (3n) format:
Login to your RadioID Dashboard
Click on the 1n ID.
You will then see a button to Convert to 3n. Click it.

Best Digital 73’s !
Hope this helps.
While we have many DMR ops here in USA, there are also strong folloings of D-Star and Fusion.
Should we be pressing for more interoperability?
