TGIF Hotspot is a great product ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have 2 TGIF hotspots, the junior and the 2.5 Nextion screen version, both work flawlessly. I have received help via phone, email and radio with the builder, Robert K4WZV, numerous times! Great customer service ! I recommend TGIF products.

Great Product Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I have had zero problems with my TGIF Spot running in my 18 wheeler. I run nothing but Motorola radios, As you know a million contacts cannot be stored in a Mototrbo XPR-5550e. The TGIF Spot gives me all the info I need on the screen. Anyone doubting the quality or warranty on this great product should go to the TGIF DMR Network TG-31665 and talk to hundreds of people actually running the Hotspot and get their opinion .

Great Hot Spot with equally great support. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The TGIFSPOT is my first hot spot and I could not be happier. This is my first foray into DMR and not knowing a lot about DMR things did not go as planned. I contacted Robert Bretzman and he remoted into my hotspot and within about 2 minutes had me up and running. I don't think you could get much better support than that. Hats off to Robert and his team. The documentation my not be as thorough as some would like, there is a Facebook group dedicated to support for this device. I would not hesitate to recommend this for the beginner or the long time DMR user.

Great Hospot : With 3.5 Screen with touch features. Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have not been more pleased with this DMR TGIF Hotspot. It worked right out of the box and never has it failed to produce the desired DMR connection . Very easy to switch screens and perform the features included in the device. The builder of the device Robert is very helpful in helping any USER that has questions and or concerns regarding setting and features not working . Well worth the extra cost for all the features compared with low cost DMR hotspots models from foreign countries. I have owned a few different models and this TGIF HotSpot with 3.5inch screen looks good and performs as it was intended ............

Great service and quick to help Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I use the TGIF hotspot everyday, it works flawless without any real issues. This unit does DSTAR and DMR I do not use the other modes.
I also built from scratch a 3.5 inch unit just for the TGIF Network.
Yes ,I would buy again from them. 73.

A Very nice hotspot for working digital modes Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
The TGIF hotspot is a very nice device, well built and the screen on it is great. Robert does a good job building them and he likes to make his customers happy. He has the hotspot ready to go after you take it out of the box so there is no need for you to configure anythings if you give him all the info he asks when you purchase it.

Great Hotspot with Excellent Customer Support Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
This is a great hotspot and worked flawlessly right out of the box. One contact with Robert on how to create backup disk was answered immediately. If you are not inclined to build your own this is the way to go. My original hotspot purchase from another company cost more and support took weeks to get a response. Go with one of the TGIF Hotspots.

Works Great Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
In the short time i have owned my hotspot it has worked flawlessly. There are some buttons on the screen that I don't think I would use but hey no biggie. I did the simple backup and it went without a hitch. I may end up changing the file for the screen to something I might use but for now it is great. Thank you Robert for the Hotspot. I would recommend this to anyone.

A very good Product with very good support Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have had a good experience both with my purchase from Bob of the TGIF Hotspot and the technical help I received from Bob. The Hotspot came ready to run out of the box and I had only one issue which was my fault for not correctly reading the instruction sheet that Bob provided with the unit. An email to Bob got the answer I needed and for 2 months I have enjoyed the TGIF network. How many owners of a business provide you with their home phone number? Well, Bob does.
