G8NSZ -

It’s probably related to this issue, which looks like has been resolved. I manually updated and things returned to normal.

I've been linked up for almost two hours and I am seeing hotspots reconnect to my reflector. It's looking like things are once again right in the world.

MW0MWZ and KE7FNS - thank you both for working through this issue. The next cup of coffee is on me.

Which version of PiStar are you running on your hotspots? Are they all using YSF or different modes?

I have watched my reflector also and normally there are 10-12 hotspots connected at any given time but over the last few days that number has dropped to 4 or 5.

Update -

I tried setting the reload value to 1440 this morning, but it automatically reverts to 60. I have tried this a couple of times and the setting reverts back to its original value. The reflector does not stay linked and still drops. I am no longer able to re-link from the admin screen ...

Update:

My hotspot dropped the link again and would not re-link using the admin panel. A reboot brought the link backup, but it seems that the issue is still present.

MW0MWZ and KE7FNS,

Thank you both for taking the time to look into this issue and applying a fix. I ran an update this morning and rebooted my hotspot. Upon reboot it connected to my startup reflector as it normally does. I will keep an eye on it today to make sure it stays connected.

Thank you ...

Here are a couple of screenshots from the logs. If I am reading it correctly it seems to disconnect after it runs an update.

I am also experiencing this issue. I don't have time to sit and watch it continuously, but it seems to unlink from the YSF startup reflector every 60-90 minutes. Several other stations that are connected to the same reflector are experiencing the same issue. I am on 4.1.5. I first noticed this ...
