I have two hotspots using Pi W and updated to pi-star 4.1.18 this week. Both are setup for P25 and are on different frequencies. The only reflectors that they will link with are Papa and Alabama P25 reflectors. They appear to not link with any other reflector, always showing "not linked" at the ...

Most of my radios have multiple talkgroups in each zone. My pi-star hotspot only has one static TG, 3100.

Do I need to add static talkgroups to my hotspot to match my radios?

Or does pi-star remember the last talkgroup that I transmitted on and keep it as dynamic?

Thanks in advance

Success!

Looking through configuration for anything that seemed odd I noticed for the wireless it was still showing JP as the country. Changed to US and now I am receiving stations and parrot is working. Such a tiny thing can cause so much trouble.

Oh well, lesson learned.

Thanks to all for your ...

OK, overnight update:

The new re-flash was verified by Balena Etcher so I went through the setup as if it was a new hotpot. I started live logs and let it run all night.

Live logs reported my RF activity (tested with TG4000, TG3990 (didn't work) and TG3100). This morning There was a lot of data on ...

Just for grins I enabled D-star on this hotspot and set it to REF30C. I started getting conversations immediately so I know that the hotspot is communicating with the net.

I didn't believe either SD card to be corrupted as both were re-formated with SD Card formatter but in thinking back ...

Not seeing anything on live logs.


Do you see it say it successfully connected to the DMR Master? Or do you see it say it tried connecting and failed and is retrying repeatedly?


My guess is that it isn't connecting, not seeing anything other than "Starting logging, please wait...."



Out ...

You said BM selfcare, did you set up a hotspot security password? That is necessary now on the US BM servers, and it isn't the same password as the BM account login. Just wanted to make sure you have that correct.


Yes sir, totally different password. All this was working correctly until a few ...

Hello Brian,

Not seeing anything on live logs.

Out of futility this morning I duplicated my DMR hotspot with a Pi Zero W, running the latest software. I set it up the exact same way as the Pi3B+ and it hears nothing ether nor do I hear parrot playing back my test signal.

I know my internet is ...

Was off my hotspot for a few days, turned it back on and not hearing anything on TG3100, which was very active a few weeks ago.

Saw the upgrade nag so upgraded to the latest pi-star 4.1.4 dated 8 Feb. 2021, Admin shows kernel 5.10.11-v7+, still not hearing anything.

MMDVM Host, DMR Gateway and pi ...

Using an older file from PD0PIB I've had for a while, got if from github a couple of years ago. Works great on the DMR hotspot.
