Upon thorough investigation, only part of the config seems to be lost.

For example, my frequencies and such are still there, but the call sign at the top of the dashboard is the default M1ABC.

As I said, no big deal. I have a backup.

No, I didn’t cancel anything. I let it run its course (which took a long time). Then I rebooted using the Pistar web interface.

Wish I had captured the command line output, but I had no reason to think I would need it at the time. I thought a failed update would just leave me at my current version ...

Just attempted a pistar-update…

Got lots of GitHub errors and failure messages. Eventually it worked through all the errors.

Upon a reboot, my hotspot is back to the default configuration. Not the end of the world - I have my configuration saved. But, has anyone else experienced this?

Though there have been sporadic reports of it working from a couple of users, there has been no solution that was repeatable by others as far as I’m aware.

I wrote to the creator of the MMDVM hotspot firmware (Andy CA6JAU) a few times hoping to get an authoritative answer on whether or not it ...

KD8DVR,

What firmware version are you running? I'm using 1.4.17

Which Duplex MMDVM_HS do you have? Either look for a name on the silkscreen or take a photo of it.

Its possible we are both using the same one, and theres an issue with it.


I don't think it is a hardware problem (at least not only a hardware problem). The reason I say that is because two hams ...

Interesting... You are the second person in the last 12 hours to tell me that it works for them (one was via email).

I think that there are quite a few changes in the HAT firmware since the 1.4.17 release, and indeed since the 1.5.1 beta, that relate to duplex hotspots.

I am not sure when Andy is planning to release the 1.5.x firmware, maybe the other Andy(s) know(s).



Thanks - I'll keep an eye out for the ...
