Re: Pi-Star in Duplex Mode

Yes. A duplex Hotspot has 2 antennas. A simplex Hotspot with a single antenna cannot function as a duplex Hotspot.

Re: TYT Works, Anytone Doesn't

Look at ur posted log. Look specifically at the BER value its indicating 8.9% is way to high an error rate for the install to wirk correctly. Thanks for ur response - that is the radio that is working though - or at least connecting to the hoptspot. The other radio as I mentioned doesn't even show ...

I have a duplex Hotspot running ysf. Works fine.

Re: RF amplifiers for Pi-star

Amplifiers are a totally bad idea! Your Hotspot will transmit farther..
BUT
It won't *hear* you from that same distance. They never receive as far away as they transmit.

So an amplifier will serve no practical purpose.

Re: Latest OS update causes boot loop

Yeah. I know. Strange... Were you looking at a monitor and seeing fatal errors, or just looking at the LED blink assuming it was bootlooping?? Cause the LED flashes X number of times to indicate a failure to load the different firmware files for the different chips during the boot sequence, but a f...

Re: Latest OS update causes boot loop

Oddly enough, when I pulled the plug, instead of doing a proper reboot, the pi's rebooted properly. Strange. At any rate, issue resolved.

Latest OS update causes boot loop

I updated all 5 of my pi zero hotspots today, using pistar-update. Upon rebooting, the pi's just looped....by looking at the light on the pi. Never completed booting. Just would continually restart. I have to restore images from backup. Fatal errors. Any ideas why? Thanks. Sent from my SM-A125U usin...
