Re: Modem either works with HT, or with Brand Meister, but not both.

Well,
Is it always *this* hard to get a hotspot, or DMR working?

I think I shall shelf the project for another while. There are other things that I feel more pressing.

I have tried BrandMeister and FreeDMR now. I have found that the color code 3 does not work, 1 does. And by work I mean that if I ...

Re: Modem either works with HT, or with Brand Meister, but not both.

Hello,
I just updated the firmware, as you suggest. Tried it with what seems like the correct modem config, and the one you suggest also. Both work for BrandMeister, but do not show anything on screen or on the dashboard with a kerchunk.

If it weren't for the fact that I can get it to do one thing ...

Modem either works with HT, or with Brand Meister, but not both.

Re: Brandmeister: Repeater ID has wrong configuration...

IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THE ERROR I HAD, try changing the General Configuration / Radio/Modem Type. After hunting around I decided to try switching this a couple of times, and got the right one (yes, I thought I had it right before). What's written on the PCB may not be what corresponds "correctly" to ...

Re: Brandmeister: Repeater ID has wrong configuration...

M1DNS, thank you for the help.

I hadn't seen the drop down for the SSID - hence my thinking I was to just add two digits to my ID. Oddly even there, 01 was not accepted, I had to use 02. The SSID is now showing on the Brandmeister report, but I still have the same error. More troubleshooting when I ...

Brandmeister: Repeater ID has wrong configuration...

Hello,
I am having difficulty setting up my new pistar hotspot.

I am just trying to breach an understanding of DMR, so I may be approaching this from a less easy angle. Any advice is welcome and appreciated.

Hardware: Duplex MMDVM hat on a Pi Zero W (1st gen, since new ones weren't available). 2A ...
