Folks, My Jumbospot running pi-star (same with versions 3.x, 4.0 and now 4.1.2) gives an announcement when connected to an XLX reflector. This says "Connected to XLX353E" in my case. The announcement is overmodulated and sounds quite distorted and is much louder than either traffic on the ...

If you have a chinese radio (Retevis, TYT etc), make sure that the box "Data call confirmed" is NOT checked on your channel window for your hotspot.

I have also been having similar problems and it appears to be a radio issue rather than a pi-star one.

Well, I noticed that in my CPS the box "Data Call Confirmed" was checked - so I un-checked it and I have been able to send messages to 262993 since, although still not 100%. So maybe this was a setup error. My radio is a Retevis RT84 (I also have an RT82 with the same box in the channel wi...

Folks, I have two DMR radios - a Retevis RT82 and a Retevis RT84 (the latter bought cheaply when I thought that I had bricked the RT82 which turned out to be wrong). The RT82 has GPS but the RT84 does not. The issues reported below are identical between the two. I normally have APRS reporting on for...

Phil, Fair point - I played around with several nodes including the one that you mention and nothing happened so I 'gave up'. After a break of over 30 minutes I noticed that it had connected. So I played around a little further and it is now connected to CQ UK (I suppose my preferred) but it took ov...

Further to my last, ysf still remains not linked:-( What I have is: YSF and YSF Net - both green. YSF Network - not linked YSF2DMR - Brandmeister United Kingdom P25 Radio - linked to TG30639 NXDN - linked to TG30639 I had turned on the YSF to other network links to see whether that made any differen...

Right, I have determined that my home Mikrotik router IS supplying DNS but supplies its own address as dns sever - which most other devices including the multiple Raspberry Pis that I run can use. BUT I have now added the four open-dns server addresses to the DNS server list (so now there are five -...

You are quite right - github not resolved by pi-star but IS resolvable from my mac on the same WiFi.

Any idea how to kick start DNS on pi-star? That could explain most problems - although why D-Star works is still a mystery...

Ian

This is the error that I get:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/AndyTaylorTweet/Pi-S ... _sbin.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com

Of course, github.com does exist and is resolvable.

Ian

Update has not worked since around then - it did update successfully on around that date but update always reports unable to access some directory or other. YSF stopped working around that time too but not directly correlated (it did work AFTER the update worked but has not worked at all since about...
