Step 4 — Set up TGIF & get your security key  [↑ Contents]

What this step is. TGIF is the second network your hotspot will use. You'll create an account, then copy a security key that TGIF generates for you.

Create your account. Go to tgif.network and register. Use your callsign as the username — not your email address. Sign-ups that use an email as the username get rejected. After you register, click the verification link in the email they send (check your spam folder; give it about 10 minutes).

Copy your security key:

1. Log in with your callsign and password (again, not your email).
2. Click your callsign and choose User Security.
3. Find the long key shown under your DMR ID and click the clipboard icon to copy it.

You don't pick this one — the system makes it for you. Unlike the BrandMeister password, TGIF generates a long random key. Just copy it exactly as shown. You'll use it when you set up the hotspot.
