Server Profiles

Where they live

Settings → Connection has a PROFILES card at the top. Each profile shows as one row:

● Home          1234567
  BrandMeister · 2682.master.brandmeister.network:54006        Edit  Delete

• The filled radio (●) marks the active profile.
• Click any hollow radio (○) to switch to that profile.
• Label, DMR ID, protocol, and server line are all visible at a glance.
• Delete is greyed out on the active profile and on the only remaining profile (VoxDMR always needs one).

Adding a profile

Click + Add profile below the list. An inline form appears with these fields:

• Label — your short name for this profile.
• DMR ID — the ID this profile uses. BrandMeister (Rewind) profiles are capped at 7 digits (max 9999999); Others (Homebrew) profiles accept any length.
• Password — the network password for this profile.
• Callsign — optional, used by Homebrew networks.

Under the Server heading, two buttons let you pick the protocol:

• BrandMeister — Rewind protocol. The picker below becomes the BrandMeister master directory (fetched live).
• Others — Homebrew protocol. The picker becomes the Homebrew server directory: the community Pi-Star DMR_Hosts.txt list (~1,200 masters, grouped by network and searchable). Picking one fills in host, port, and hash format, and prefills the password where the network publishes a shared one. Networks that need you to sign up first are marked Account required. BrandMeister masters are excluded — they belong on a BrandMeister profile. A Custom server… option lets you enter one by hand.

For Custom server…, two extra fields appear:

• Host — the master hostname or IP.
• Port — Homebrew masters typically use 62031.

You can’t point an Others profile at a BrandMeister master — VoxDMR rejects it with BrandMeister masters must use the BrandMeister protocol. Use a BrandMeister profile for those. Homebrew profiles take a few more fields — a default timeslot, static talkgroups, an ESSID, and dashboard identity — with only the login hash format tucked under an Advanced disclosure (see Homebrew profile fields).

Click Save. The new profile appears in the list.

Editing a profile

Click Edit on any row to load that profile into the same form. The Password field shows a placeholder Password (leave blank to keep current) — only fill it in if you want to change it. Everything else is editable.

Switching profiles

Click the radio button on any inactive profile. VoxDMR:

1. Disconnects from the current server.
2. Loads the new profile (DMR ID, protocol, server, password, callsign, aliases, favorites).
3. If Auto-connect is enabled, connects to the new server.

The main window footer updates to reflect the new server.

Deleting a profile

Click Delete on any row. There’s no confirmation — the row disappears. Delete is disabled on the active profile (switch first) and on the only remaining profile.

Where they live

Tap the Connection tab in the bottom navigation. The Identity card at the top shows the active profile — or Not configured if you’re starting fresh — and below it a Switch identity list of your other profiles. Tap any one to swap to it without leaving the screen.

For the full list — adding, editing, or deleting — tap the Identity card to open the Profiles screen, where each profile is a row with a radio button, label, DMR ID, and overflow menu (⋮).

Adding a profile

Tap + Add profile at the bottom of the Profiles screen. The form opens as a full-screen modal with the same fields as desktop: Label, DMR ID, Password, Callsign, and a Server section with the BrandMeister / Others segmented button.

BrandMeister: tap the server row to open the BrandMeister servers bottom sheet. Search by country or hostname; tap a master to select it.

Others: tap the Pick server button to open the Servers bottom sheet — the searchable Pi-Star DMR_Hosts.txt directory (~1,200 masters, grouped by network). Tap one to fill in host + port + hash format, with the password prefilled where the network publishes a shared one; networks that need an account first are marked Account required. BrandMeister masters are excluded. You can still edit the fields manually below, or enter a custom server by hand.

You can’t point an Others profile at a BrandMeister master — VoxDMR rejects it with BrandMeister masters must use the BrandMeister protocol. Homebrew profiles take a few more fields — a default timeslot, static talkgroups, an ESSID, and dashboard identity — with only the login hash format tucked under an Advanced options disclosure (see Homebrew profile fields).

Tap Save.

Switching profiles

Tap the radio button on any inactive profile. If you’re connected, you’ll see a snackbar — Switching to {label}… reconnecting. VoxDMR tears down the old connection and starts the new one.

Deleting a profile

Tap the overflow menu (⋮) on a row and choose Delete profile. A confirmation dialog appears. The only remaining profile can’t be deleted.

Expand Advanced at the bottom of the profile form for the Login hash format — Auto (recommended), Raw, or Hex-ASCII. Auto tries Raw, then retries Hex-ASCII on a login rejection, so you rarely touch it.

Tap Advanced options at the bottom of the form for the Login hash format — Auto (recommended), Raw, or Hex-ASCII. Auto tries Raw, then retries Hex-ASCII on a login rejection, so you rarely touch it.

Profiles live in config.toml in the config directory (paths). Each profile is a [[profiles]] table with all its fields. Aliases are nested per profile as a talkgroup_aliases map. The active profile is recorded by index.

You can edit the file by hand for bulk changes (rare; the in-app editor covers everything), but please close VoxDMR first so the changes aren’t overwritten on save.

Latitude and longitude for the Homebrew dashboard are config.toml-only — there’s no UI for them.

Profiles live in the app’s private data directory. They’re managed entirely through the in-app UI; there’s no direct file editing path on Android.
