Here is update. I noticed something odd. It looks like radio will start working with pistar “after some time”. Not sure if it is the radio or pi-star but after some worm up time it will start transmitting. I was at my ham friend other day and he also has 5DR. His works every time. We switched to par...

So I updated my MMDVM board with the latest dual hat firmware and also the entire system (rpi-rw, sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade, rpi-ro) Now, after pi-star reboot, I did check that my TX and RX offsets are set to zero. Looks like my 400XDR is working very well now :) No firmware or configuration...

Today I updated my pi-star firmware. Here is the latest output from find modem. Detected MMDVM_HS Port: /dev/ttyAMA0 (GPIO) Baud: 115200 Protocol: V1 Modem Data: MMDVM_HS_Dual_Hat-v1.5.2 20201108 14.7456MHz dual ADF7021 FW by CA6JAU GitID #89daa20FF56066C5548826687214627 I also changed both antennas...

I was wondering if it is possible to reconfigure the USB micro port (not the power USB micro) so I could use it as USB to serial when connected to my laptop. I usually have it powered from my laptop and would like to get a login screen instead or ssh to the device. Is this possible? Has anyone done ...

Yaesu does not support their products working with 3rd party devices like hotspots, so there probably isn't any hats that will work. There have been a number of people that have posted that certain Yaesu radios (mostly the newer ones released over the last year or so) don't work properly. Yaesu pro...

Tx for the suggestions. I will look into it and give some time for more detailed observation. I will post my finding here. As far as contacting the HAT vendor. Well, I did with one of them. I was told the FT-5RD is not supported (after a few weeks of trying). I will do further tests you suggested. I...

Here is the other two boards I got from Amazon “ MMDVM Duplex Hotspot Module Dual Hat with 0.96 OLED Display V1.47 Support P25 DMR YSF NXDN DMR Slot 1 + Slot 2 for Raspberry pi” with and Without OLED. I can only activate pistar with ftm-400XDR. 5DR can hear but can not activate when PTT pressed. I d...

Thank you for your answers. As far as your answer related to lowest power mode? That is what I initially started with. But no matter what I do and change (freq, offsets etc) I could not get it to get lower then BER 2.5-3%. I could never understand my own transmissions (parrot). I am sitting 2 feet f...

Btw, this is how I flushed the board from ssh
sudo pistar-mmdvmhshatflash hs_dual_hat

What was the exact command you typed? And when you use "sudo pistar-findmodem" what does it report? ~$ sudo pistar-findmodem Detected MMDVM_HS Port: /dev/ttyAMA0 (GPIO) Baud: 115200 Protocol: V1 Modem Data: MMDVM_HS_Dual_Hat-v1.5.2 20201108 14.7456MHz dual ADF7021 FW by CA6JAU GitID #89da...
