Login Problem on B3+

Post by m7mcq »

Hi all, I just created a disc-image and rebooted the RP. It comes up with a Log-In screen asking for "Login" and after entering my callsign and pressing Enter, It goes to "Password".

When i try to type the password, NOTHING happens (no text appears). I press Enter again and I am then able to start typing but I quickly get an "Incorrect Login" warning.

Help!! :D

Got everything up and running with the Pi and DVAP and set default reflector to Charlie 30. I could hear people and see their callsigns on the radio screen and on the Pi-Star Admin panel, but I could not transmit.

If I key-up, the radio simply reads back my Callsign. Maybe I'm just too dumb for all this, LOL.

My Kenwoord D74 works perfectly when using the DVAP on PC.

Regards, Tom.

If you'll be using only D-STAR mode, for example, with older hardware like the DVAP or DVRPTR, select DStarRepeater as your Controller Software.
