4.3.0 Beta feedback

Andy, thanks! I just set up a pi zero hotspot with 4.3.0 and it's doing well in YSF for now. One bug I noticed - in the configuration page, the system time zone dropdown always shows Europe/London even if another zone is set and the configuration is saved. /etc/timezone also shows "Europe/Londo...

Re: Can't run MMDVM HS DUAL HAT in DUPLEX mode

that hat looks like its using an on-board antenna, as I dont see any antenna mounts..... The board has solder pads for SMA connectors, they are adjacent to the on-board antennae. Not sure that the configuration of the board, as sold, is the most usable / user friendly. If you must run that as a dup...

Re: ysf/fcs doesn't connect. DG-ID shows 127 instead of 0.

Hi. DGID 127 is not an error code. When the radio (not hotspot) transmits the WiresX handshake request - which you initiate by holding down the Dx button - the radio truly does transmit DGID127. 127 is a special case, just for this handshake. IF the hotspot acknowledges, it will typically come back ...

Re: YSF2P25

When the FT5DR is in wiresX mode, it will only transmit DW or DN and _never_ transmit VW. If the reflector itself or another party on the reflector is in VW, the FT5 will shift to receive VW until that transmission ends, then the FT5 goes back to DN mode. If you need to be in WiresX mode to change r...

Re: Dual Displays ?

Not sure that this will help, but these command will disable or enable the OLED. Note that if this command disables the OLED, it will be re-enabled when services restart disable: /usr/sbin/i2cset -y 1 0x3c 0x00 0xAE enable: /usr/sbin/i2cset -y 1 0x3c 0x00 0xAF status: /usr/sbin/i2cget -y 1 0x3c 0x00...

Re: How many CQ-UK Rooms are there?

The Yaesu site lists WiresX rooms , and the PiStar link lists YSF reflectors . Just to clarify, YSF doesn't mean 'Yaesu System Fusion'. YSF is a similar, yet totally different system than WiresX. There are no YSF rooms nor are there any WiresX reflectors. The Pi-Star will do YSF and happily connect ...

Re: Nano Pi Neo Update Issue

'Jessie' has been deprecated and I do not believe it is on the raspbian mirror.

Depending on what you are trying to do, this may be a prime time to upgrade from Jessie to something more current.
