Re: Need Help

The not secure thing is because it's http not https, it's ok to go to the site If you did not change from default the username is pi-star and the password is raspberry (I have changed mine from default as you can view mine from web (and it is SSL'd through nginx proxy manager) If you changed your pa...

Re: Retevis RT82 Where do I find PRIVATE in the Codeplug ??

Codeplug, try Contacts (some call it Talkgroups) [I don't have an RT82] add contact/TG called Parrot Number would be 9990 the next column should read Group Call...this is a drop down, Private is in there. Create new channel as normal with the Parrot as the contact for that channel. Add to your Zone,...

Re: AURSINC (Amazon) Raspberry Pi Zero W - Ethernet

It's called an OTG adapter (on-the-Go) -- power always plugs into Far Right (outer side USB Micro) and the OTG plugs into the other one (inner Micro) I have a few but for a Zero-W which has wireless built in, you lose the compactness ad it has to lay flat -- if you have a screen on it (OLED, you can...

Re: YSF Startup Host selection; how and why?

Maybe I can clear up OP's confusion Andrew, but not a definitive answer. If I read his question as intended, I believe he wants to know (although he does not say it) if he is connecting to his local "room" (as he calls it) THROUGH his hotspot or directly to the local repeater directly. If ...

Re: Do I need a prefix for DMR talkgroups?

I can make this simple. You will never hear 3133 BM on your local repeaters in NH. Why Brandmeister 3133 and your local repeaters' 3133 are on DMR-MARC (as are Maine 3123 [where I live] ) do not talk to each other. Unless you have another reason to use Brandmeister, dump it. I am not familiar with t...

Re: Connecting to room

Find number in your lookup source if you use DMR2YSF as your DMR Master, in your codeplug create the Group Call Contact with the Fusion Room Number -- if room is Wires-X it won't work hotspots do not do Wires-X, just Fusion, unless the repeater owners set it up correctly to work on their end. Once c...

Re: Problems with Repeaters without Internet on DMR

Not do do with pi-star directly but, All pi-star modes need internetr as that is how it connects to reflectors and rooms and talkgroups. But in DMR anyways there is a 'local' Talkgroup (usually TG 9) but have any of you tried the "simplex" way on your repeater channel? -- This assumes batt...

Re: A Newbie seeking advice

Oh, I forgot to answer the second part. Hotspots. There are many out there and most work/do the same thing(s), but the Zumboard (it's white) and some of the MMDVM boards built by fellow hams (multi-colors for the boards, but usually blue or green) are a better way to go, and thenn there are the Chin...

Re: A Newbie seeking advice

Well Keith, first welcome. second, DMR is the worst one to start with if you are just coming back into the hobby. Do not start with DMR, get into this one slowly the learning curve to program is the Matterhorn (not quite Everest, but steep) With a hotspot you can do many modes, DMR (stay away for no...

Re: DMRGateway Enable=1 reverts back to 0

Change your network 3 to network 4

Network 3 is the DMR2XXX crossover mode -- it will revert to disabled as it is reading the crossover state(s)
