Re: RPi 4B for MMDVM hotspot...Am I nuts?

I decided to nix the idea of a RPi 4 based hotspot. Just overkill to an extreme I think. Went ahead and ordered a RPi Zero with an installed header. Coming from the UK. Hope to have it in a couple weeks.

RPi 4B for MMDVM hotspot...Am I nuts?

Bought a RPi 4b. Having ZERO experience with a factory fresh pi, I thought I'd assemble a second hotspot. Been using a ZumSpot RPi v0.6 purchased from Ham Radio Outlet (on and off) since ~2018. Works every single time. I have a duplex MMDVM HAT somewhere around here. I enjoy frustration, confusion ...

Re: Old Zum MMDVM on a new Raspberry Pi4/B ??

Yep, problematic. From what I'm reading. I'll grab a different HAT.

Re: Old Zum MMDVM on a new Raspberry Pi4/B ??

😊 one last question, I think. My HAT has a 40 pin GPIO female connection. (20 rows). Most of the HAT's I see today have only 10 at each end. Leaving 20 center Pi male GPIO pins "unconnected". Is this problematic?

Old Zum MMDVM on a new Raspberry Pi4/B ??

Have a new Raspberry Pi 4/B arriving soon. Anyone ever fit the little ZUMspot-RPI v0.6 on one? I want to avoid buying a new hat if possible.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Pi-Star dashboard is not "Listening"

BM shows my HS as being active. So, I am assuming the passwords are not in conflict. BUT, the dashboards "Listening" section is blank. Hmmm 🙄. This appears "to me" that my Anytone 878uv+ CPS needs to be corrected. Am I close? Thanks to all in advance!!
