Re: ircddb remote favorite on iPhone?

Found it. Too easy. I didn’t realize the empty boxes needed to be filled out before tapping “Add.”

Re: Is it fried? No TCXO

Don't forget a case too. Haha; that’s awesome! The case just came today. Ordered it right before I fried the hotspot. I’ll give these next steps a try tonight.

Seems like that’s how it was before it broke. A search for the MMDVM log shows “unable to read firmware versi...

I can save my favorite reflectors on the Android version but can't seem to figure out how to save favorites on the iPhone version. What's the sec...
