I’ve come back to lovely pi-star the original! Installed the 4.3.4 beta and running DMR/DStar without a hitch thus far for 2 days. Appreciate the efforts thus far and the always friendly bunch here!

Cheers!


Welcome back! - Yes, Andy is extremely helpful and easy to work with. Rather than ...

Hello Tom:

I have been helping Andy (and indirectly Jonathan) refine MMDVMHost to resolve these last few issues. I am curious to know whether your "RF late entry" error is occurring on a full-duplex repeater, or a simplex hotspot?

I have also seen this issue on a repeater system that I'm ...

Jonathan (G4KLX) has added some more changes in MMDVMHost that might (please help us testing) cure the remaining issues in MMDVMHost with D-Star. Those of you running 4.3.4, please update and give it a go and see if you get any more of those issues.


Pi-Star: 4.3.4 / Dashboard: 20250424 ...

Hi Andy: I just updated my hotspot (running 4.3.3) using the dashboard update method, the script seemingly pulled the update. Rebooted the Pi, but the dashboard as well as the Pi-Star splash logo still reports 4.3.3

Appreciate all the work you are doing to keep us on the bleeding edge!

Cheers ...

I know what you are thinking... what manner of madness is this, another new beta release.. in short, yes....

Hi Andy:

Amazing work and effort on this 4.3.x iteration. I cannot thank you enough!

I just upgraded one of my systems and then restored from backup. A very small item... the time zone did not restore from the backup (I think it did before).

Other than that, this seems to be working beautifully ...

Hi Folks:

running some bench tests with a VR2VYE & BI7JTA MMDVM Full Duplex Pi-Hat (Version 10). The current firmware is:

MMDVM protocol version: 1, description: Nano_hotSPOT-v1.3.4 20180404 dual ADF7021 FW by CA6JAU GitID #fb8806e

Before I upgrade the FW, I'd like to get a copy of the bin or hex ...

Hello Andy!

Very grateful for this new update. I have just updated VA3PMO Charlie; no issues - restored the config from my backup and we're off.

I did update mmdvmhost manually (to the 20250319 revision), as that fixes the long-awaited DTMF issue on D-STAR.

Will let this run for a week or two and ...

Hi Mark,

Well, the new version of mmdvmhost (MMDVMHOST: 03/21/25 883868 20250319_PS4 git #d9d6846
) is causing some issues.

There is a message in the mmdvm log file that I see quite frequently...

M: 2025-03-22 19:33 ...

BTW, I saw some posts from others mentioning the need to update the repo path...

Let's see if the nightly update breaks this manual update!

Where do I update the repo path and what is the url that I need to spec?

Thanks!
