TGIF Net Summary - Friday, January 9, 2026
Net Control: Robert, K4WZV
Talkgroup: 3665 on the TGIF DMR network
Time: 8:30 PM Eastern
Key Highlights
[] Large turnout with many check-ins across multiple rounds
(short-time and regular).
[] Tribute to the late founder Mitch Savage, EA7KDO (always
checked in as a silent key).
[*] Special thanks to developer Andy, G7LRR, who stayed up late
(2 AM UK time) to monitor the rollout of a major new feature.
Major Announcement: New Scan Function Released
[] Custom scan feature now live on the TGIF dashboard.

Scan.

[] Choose which hotspot to apply the scan to.
[] Set priority and dwell time.
[] Requires radio support for OpenRX / Promiscuous / Digital
Monitor mode.
