Re: TX/RX Screens Not Showing All Fields?

Thanks for the info. The RPi is a 3B so there wasn't any of the 0/W problems. So far so good *fingers crossed*. I"ll try the XTRA flag at some point this weekend after I've seen this been stable for a few days.

Re: TX/RX Screens Not Showing All Fields?

So far, Pi-Star 4.1.0-rc4 with nextiondriver is working perfectly.

Re: TX/RX Screens Not Showing All Fields?

I'm kinda curious about you mentioning it needing a restart. Can you elaborate on that some more? Like what is happening and when? So running 3.1.4 I had the nextiondriver installed and running just fine. Survived several restarts of the system. However at some point a day or so after I had built i...

Re: TX/RX Screens Not Showing All Fields?

Thanks for the input. This image is fairly fresh but something clearly isn't working right. The NextionDriver is running and Pi-Star is correctly configured to use it but after a restart once the screen has just stopped responding at all. So something is amiss and I may just restart. I am using a US...

Re: TX/RX Screens Not Showing All Fields?

Sorry, I should have included that I am using the Nextion driver. The main screen which has items provided by the nextiondriver device show up, it's only on the mode-specific TX/RX screens that the same values don't appear.

TX/RX Screens Not Showing All Fields?

I'm using the PD0DIB "Model 8" screen for a 2.4" Nextion. Everything works fine except that on the TX/RX details screen some of the fields aren't filling in - and most of them are already in use on the main screen. For example, on the D-STAR screen, all of the data on the left-side of...

Megalink Network

Hello all.... guess I'll be the first to post to this board and hopefully it's within bounds of the intended use! A few years ago, some members of the Wayne Technical Fanatics (a small radio technology enthusiast group in Ohio, http://ww8tf.club ) had an idea to start a confederation of repeater sit...

Re: Troubleshooting Inconsistent DVMega Behavior

Thanks for the ideas everyone. Looks like I'm going to try to return it. I'm in contact with where I bought it. For what those boards cost, I hope it's easy to get it replaced.

Troubleshooting Inconsistent DVMega Behavior

Hello all - does anyone have any tips on troubleshooting/tuning a DVMega board used in a simplex hotpost? I have a brand new DVMega Pi-Hat (from Gigaparts so it should be "genuine"). However the performance of the hotspot is poor at best, especially on D-STAR. It seems to take multiple att...

Re: Sending NAC

So, this is a somewhat red herring. It appears the repeater is sending out NAC 293 according to a P25 test instrument (my neighbor is having a lot of fun with this now). It's just not opening the squelch. That's probably on the radio end.
