Re: Pi-Star shows wrong callsign on APRS.fi

Did you check your APRS settings in BM Selfcare ?

Re: Stupid question time - HS, RF, Net meanings in context

1. Yes. HS = Hotspot
2. RF is the RF signal the hotspot is receiving from your transceiver. The RF display only shows what the HS is receiving not what its transmitting

Re: PiStar dashboard continues to show I'm transmitting, when I'm definietly not

Unfortunately I power cycled PiStar after this last happened, as I was in the middle of a QSO. Hence power cycling effectively deletes the log files as they are stored in RAM. I'll check the throttling, but the Rpi3B, is powered from a 4A USB PSU, via a very short USB cable (only 20cm long), so I ho...

PiStar dashboard continues to show I'm transmitting, when I'm definietly not

Over the last 3 or 4 weeks, I've had a problem on several occasions where when I released the PTT on my HT and it stopped transmitting, dashboard continued to show that I was transmitting. Initially I thought perhaps the radio really was transmitting, so I removed the battery, but the Dashboard cont...

Is using a custom version of MMDVMHost possible?

I need to run a custom version of MMDVMHost to communicate with a non MMDVM hotspot (its actually going to be a GD-77 running special firmware), but I think if I replace the copy of MMDVMHost that is in PiStar that the update process will no longer work. Can someone confirm if there is a way I could...

Re: Duplex Time Out

This is probably something that BM need to add to their SelfCare section e.g. Dynamic TG timeout, and allow a setting of "never" possibly by setting it to zero. On BM I have to put my duplex HS into Simplex mode, otherwise its virtually unusable, because of the timeout and subsequent disco...

Help identifying an authentic Nextion

I bought a Nextion 2.4 inch screen from a vendor on eBay, and although it seems to work, I'm not convinced its genuine It has a Nextion logo on it, and the part number starts with NX, but it does not have the ITEAD logo which other authentic Nextion boards used to have on them. Can anyone tell me wh...

Re: Nextion not reading card?

I had similar issues The display will only read old SD cards. I had to scrape around and find one in an old "action camera" I bought about 4 years ago. I'm a bit concerned my Nextion may be a clever fake, as I can't find any information elsewhere where it says they only accept old / slow S...
