I bought a Pi-Hat kit. I've tried three different versions of PI-STAR, a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a Raspberry Pi 3B, and three different routers. No combination will connect WiFi. I'm completely baffled. Both Pi's when booted to a standard raspbien image have no trouble connecting to WiFi. I really don'...

In each of the talk groups I have programmed "This is K0DXV. Anyone around that give me a signal report? Am I making it in ?" DEAD SILENCE on all. This is kinda like the fantastic number of repeaters between Denver and Fort Collins - of which 2 or 3 have any kind of regular traffic. Since ...

I've been communicating on FM repeaters since 1970. So, with 22 talk groups programmed in, I haven't heard single word on any of them. Every channel is just dead space. I guess I'm too used to 20 meters which these days is basically busy 24 hours. I don't know where activity is on these talk groups....

It doesn't sound much like ham radio. I'm not sure what it is - but its something different and I don't think I care for it very much. Honestly - I *have to ask if anyone will talk to me*? Seriously? Ham Radio is about making QSOs. What are all this DMR channels for? Do I have to be part of the IN-C...

So I guess the protocol on DMR is different than on analog repeaters? What do you usually do to start a conversation?

I announced my call sign. It wasn't just empty keying. I was looking to see if anyone responded.

I haven't disappeared and I am not short on appreciation for the help. and... while PARROT now works it doesn't seem that anything else does. I have carefully entered data into a new codeplug so I am not inheriting someone else's poorly defined data. I have 14 entries carefully matching Digital Cont...

Pi-star HotSpot configuration.

https://bestroutt.net/img/GeneralSetting.JPG https://bestroutt.net/img/DigitalContacts.JPG http://bestroutt.net/img/ChannelInformation.JPG I Created a new CodePlug with only PARROT in it. I updated only three areas as shown above. The HotSpot does not show any activity after attempting three transm...

Either the Hotspot doesn't work right or the radio doesn't work right. I've been over everything 20 times. Occasionally I see something show up on the dashboard. But, Parrot doesn't work no matter how many different ways I try to define it. I'm just out of ideas. I've watched every video there is on...
