I have a pi zero W with a hat on it which appears to be sort of working.
There ais a green light on the zero board and a steady green light and a flashin red light on the hat, when i key my radio i get 2 yellow lights come on and my oled screen says DMR.....I dont think the hat is hearing anything as i have dv4mini here which hears loud and clear....ime wondering if i have middes something ?
TIA

Re: I dont think it hearing !!
Hi and thanks for that and if that the case yes its doing as you say it should....but I have the radio an 868 set on the same frequency as the hot spot so I would have thought I should hear something say if ime on Hubnet or what ever and ime getting nothing at all.
Re: I dont think it hearing !!
For DMR, your radio should need a channel defined for EACH talkgroup you are interested in accessing (I have 21 defined on mine). Everything would be the same except channel name and "contact" (talkgroup). If you then set up a group list with all the talkgroups of interest and assign it to each channel then you should hear traffic on any of those talkgroups if it comes in from the server -- but you would have to change to the correct channel to reply to that traffic. The UK practice for repeaters of dialing up a talkgroup using a private call and then switching to talkgroup 9 for communications may not be viable for a hotspot.m0hms wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 6:13 pm Hi and thanks for that and if that the case yes its doing as you say it should....but I have the radio an 868 set on the same frequency as the hot spot so I would have thought I should hear something say if ime on Hubnet or what ever and ime getting nothing at all.
Make sure you are configured for timeslot 2 on all hotspot channels (only top end duplex hotspots can make use of timeslot 1), and make sure the color code matches that of the hotspot configuration. You may also need to check the values for "admit criteria" (I'm set to "color code" with "in call criteria" set to "always"). Also set the radio to its lowest power; high power could overload a hotspot if you are nearby. Both RX and TX frequency need to be the same (my MD390 code plugs have separate entries for both, if yours doesn't you need to ensure repeater shift is set to 0.0.
